Shangri-La-La is a bold, irreverent comedy musical that pulls back the velvet curtain on the glittering illusion of Las Vegas. Inspired by true events, the show takes audiences inside the world of Siegfried & Roy, white tigers, showbiz excess, and the carefully manufactured magic that helped transform Las Vegas into a family-entertainment empire.

Guided by the ghost of Bugsy Siegel, this fast-moving festival version follows two German dreamers as they rise from obscurity to become global icons at Steve Wynn’s Mirage Hotel — only to discover that fame, fortune, and spectacle may come with a price. With original songs, outrageous characters, courtroom chaos, devilish deals, and a giant helping of Vegas smoke and mirrors, Shangri-La-La is part satire, part showbiz fable, and part “revenge musical.”

It is a comic, theatrical, and slightly wicked look at fame, illusion, justice, and the souls people sell to make it in the city where anything can happen.

Best for audiences who like: musical comedy, Vegas, satire, true-story-inspired theater, and shows with teeth.
