BWW Reviews: 'The Phat Pack' Brings Las Vegas First-Rate Broadway Entertainment
By: Ellen Sterling Dec. 26, 2012
The debut of "The Phat Pack" to Las Vegas this month signified a wonderful gift to the city.
Drawing the show's name from the fact (or, is that "ph"act?) that the trio of singers all met in the production of "Phantom: The Las Vegas Spectacular." And, while I fear that the name will be a barrier to drawing the crowd they deserve, the show is so very much worth seeing.Accompanied by musical conductor Joey Singer, the trio sings - individually and as a group - the best of the Broadway songbook.Ted Keegan, Randal Keith and Bruce Ewing sing numbers from the shows they've been in, songs they love and material specially written d for their show. It's a kind of informal, cabaret-like evening. They share their stories, their backgrounds and memories with the audience.They begin with an explanatory number called "The Phat Pack," explaining the naming of the show, their love of theater music and then sing of their musical theater roots. Next, they explain to the audience their preference for being "nine people's favorite thing than 100 people's ninth favorite."(If you don't live in or near Las Vegas, be sure to look at your local arts center schedule for them to appear. They are scheduling performances around the nation and it's worth watching for them and/or requesting them.)
"The Phat Pack" is a wonderful show, one of the best in Las Vegas. Be sure to see it. The Phat Pack performs Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 5 pm and 7 pm. Tickets are priced at $42.45 to $53.45. and are available by calling 702-946-8934 or 800-793-9332 or online athttps://www.vendini.com/ticket-software.html e=486c018d8a6839226f85833dc7ce994a&t=tix
