| - ... and now for something completely different! Oh, behave!
You've done Cirque.
You've done Celine.
Everyones done Blue Man.
It's high time you experience the Miss Behave Gameshow!
I'm a local and went to the show (somewhat reluctantly) with the wife and her friend. I honestly thought it was going to be a dud. Let's be honest, there are many a show on that strip that disappoints when your not forking over the mega-bucks for the A-listers. I couldn't have been more wrong.
The show is in the Back-Room at Bally's which really is waaaay in the back, small intimate venue, next to BLT Steak. On entry to the Back-Room, your in a funky cool bar area where you can have a pre-show drink if you like. Two ushers are bounching around the bar area greeting guests for the show; there were both very entertaining and got us in the mood for having a good time while still maintaining some suspense... though we still had no idea by this point.
5 minutes til, we were lead through to the stage area. We first sat in the back row but the fabulous ushers encouraged us to come up front, so we did to the second row. I sat arms folded... assuming my defensive posture. I still had my doubts. I LOVE audience participation, but only if it isn't me LOL. And come on... this was a Gameshow; I thought it was going to be like a NewlyWed gameshow spinoff... WRONG! I was the sober one; the wife and friend were well on there way (yippee for me). The stage has cardboard signs pretty much everywhere; the stage itself, the walls... pretty much everywhere. Bizarre, I thought, but ok... let's see were this goes... you have my interest. As folks come in, you are divided into two teams: 'Iphone' users and 'Others' which actually ended up coming to a 50/50 split to a full house. The crowd was of all ages 21 and up, singles, couples, the lot.
Miss Behave made her entry to the stage and I knew we were in good hands. She's all decked out in fabulous sequin and briefly explains the rules (there are none) and what's going to go down. She's british born and really amusing; she knows how to guide the crowd and maintains a nice balance somewhere between order and complete comedic anarchy.
The show itself is a series of mini-games that all hinges on you, the audience. Let me make one thing clear; there is NO PRESSURE to participate. You can sit with your arms crossed and watch and laugh all show long if you want... but I challenge you to do so. After 10 minutes, my arms were uncrossed and I felt like I was the one who had 3-4 drinks myself! My group were all hootin' and hollerin' getting in on the games more and more as time went on. It was a blast! I have never seen a show quite like it.
Miss Behave has done Vegas before but things haven't worked out here in the past; now she and her hilarious team have another chance, and I think they will be hard pressed to not succeed if they keep up the energy we witnessed on a Wednesday night. Other than the two ushers, there are two other performers in the show who were absolutely incredible. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. I don't want to ruin their acts, but they were both spot on in their respective parts.
I definitely plan to go back. I imagine every show has to be different as it depends so much on the audiences feedback. We sang, we ran, we threw crap at other audience members and the stage acts (your encouraged too). And all of this goes on in the hands of your very capable and entertainig host, Miss Behave. I don't think that a single person there didn't enjoy it. I was surprised to see I'm the first to review the show on TripAdvisor.... really people... if you enjoy it, especially these new smaller acts, support them and post a review!
I really hope Miss Behave becomes a Vegas staple. I foresee it becoming just that, hopefully gaining more and more of the spotlight and taking on bigger crowds/rooms yet still maintaining that intimacy that made it special. It's not for the faint of heart, but I promise you won't be singled out unless you want to be. You'll laugh, you'll cry (from laughing), and you and your party will be talking about it for a lifetime after. I'll be back dragging any visiting friends/family that stop in for sure sure!
Well done Miss Behave, Tiffany, Monkey-Man-Ballerina (still having flashbacks), and the two Angel ushers!!! A truly uniquely superb show that I didn't think was possible. I want more and you should too! Go see this show; you'll spend less and laugh/enjoy more! Don't just sit there debating on this vs another show.... Miss Behave Gameshow is the one you'll remember from your Vegas trip - do it!
