Scarlett and her Seductive Ladies of Magic." They’re so … 2005.
Three Antonios and a couple of Bills find their way into the show scene this week, but not before Mac King helps me do some math. …
Had any reason to check out the Broadway listings lately? A couple of titles might strike you as familiar.
Jo Koy says that even before his comedy star began to rise, he could fill a venue the size of the South Point showroom with friends and relatives. Could and did.

Maybe we’ll see the day when Donny Osmond, Criss Angel and Jerry Springer are on the same TV show. Stranger things have happened.

Marie Osmond loses a daytime TV show and Wayne Brady gets one days later. Some form of Vegas-based TV taping seems as inevitable as local variety acts competing on “America’s Got Talent.”
