Are they feeling the love tonight?
It's too soon for the box office verdict but Mandalay Bay's production of The Lion King is hitting one home run after another with local critics. Joe Brown in the Las Vegas Sun pens an out-and-out rave, which the Las Vegas Review-Journal's Mike Weatherfor seconds -- with modest (and funny) reservations. CityLife Arts Editor Mike Prevatt deems it a "near slam-dunk" for long-term success.
Lion King predecessor Mamma Mia! set a daunting benchmark with its almost six-year run and Phantom of the Opera is closing in on the three-year mark, while Jersey Boys will probably be here as long as there are enough Four Seasons fans (Who isn't?) to fill a showroom. So Broadway-on-the-Strip is scarcely the bedridden invalid that is sometimes portrayed.
Las Vegas Weekly's John Katsilometes, like others, noticed a few longeurs but also gives The Lion King top accolades. But somebody had to be the spider on the valentine and that'd be me. At least my mixed feelings weren't the only ones: The R-J's Anthony Del Valle has a comparable set of "pros" and cons."
Best reason to get out of town this weekend: Malcontent-for-hire Terrell Owens ('Have bad attitude, will travel') is to be the celebrity du jour on Sunday night at Rok Vegas nightclub. Our condolences to Rok management in case it gets an up-close-and-personal experience of the pouting, whining, 'There is no "team" in "I"' mindset that has so endeared Owens to the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys and their respective fans. (Not to mention various pushed-under-the-bus QBs.)
Owens may have difficulty hanging onto a football but when it comes to "hosting" at a nightclub, if Spencer Pratt can do it how hard can it be?
Best reason to be in town this weekend: Two words -- Cheryl Burke.
Have a glorious holiday weekend.
