"Faugno is undoubtedly a very talented performer. Many of you already know him from the big stage as ‘Frankie Valli,' in 'Jersey Boys,' said Ken Ciancimino, Executive Vice President of Administration. "We are very happy to have Rick come back to the Las Vegas Hilton with his one-man show. Plus, with his new movie being screened at the Las Vegas Film Festival here, he is truly a man of many talents."

Body & Soul is a tour de force of pop, rock, soul, funk, blues, jazz, Latin and just about every musical genre imaginable. The musical boundaries have been broken with this eclectic mix of multiple styles, making for a rollercoaster ride of a show. This is a journey of self-expression through music and dance that recalls the great performers of the past. Nowhere else can you see one performer bring together so many different styles of music and make them his own.

Faugno studied acting/theater at B.F.A. New York University, his distinctive voice and dancing ability has landed him leading roles in "Fosse," "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," "Conversations with my Father," and "Wonderful Town."
