My parents had the delightful opportunity to watch Shania Twain's 'Still the One' show at Caesar's Palace last January to celebrate my mom's Nth birthday. I just got off school that night and therefore turned up a bit late and missing the first song. The ushers said we didn't miss much and guided us inside the Colosseum where guitar riffs seeped through the doors.
We have been Shania fans since the 90s and didn't really marvel as much at any other female country artists after she got quiet in the early 2000s. When we heard about her Vegas residency announcement, it was only a matter of time when we planned a date night together.
The Colosseum had a lavish intimate setting with a huge screen and lights that draped the stage, making the songs and settings spring to life. Shania still looks like a Goddess even after all these years and what she went through. I couldn't say how much of a dear she was, hopping over to the audience to give us hugs and handshakes all while she was on the mic!
Transitions were smooth, very theatre-esque and props were simple. My favorite part was the campfire scene when a real bonfire lit up in the middle of the stage. You could smell the burning wood from everywhere! Also, the moment Shania brought in her two horses made everyone's hearts leap. Country rock at its best, I tell ya & add an elegant touch to that too.
I'll try to refrain from spoiling too many details here and let you guys save the thrill for yourselves! Shania will not be staying long though so book your tickets before she ends her residency this December.
