  • The best mediocrity money can buy--that's the only way I can describe Showstoppers. This is definitely an ego piece for Steve Wynn, producing a show for his own exclusive pleasure without any regard for Vegas demographics or the taste of Vegas show-goer's. I am not a Broadway neophyte, yet I found the choice of material puzzling, if not obscure. The talent is at a high technical level, but the cast lacks charisma, and the show lacks charm and humor. The show would have been considered old and dated 25 years ago, and consists very much the sort of material I have seen in high school Broadway reviews. Showstoppers would be very much at home on a cruise ship, but it is an anachronism on a Vegas stage. Given what Le Reve has to offer next door, the ticket prices (close to Le Reve's) are scandalous. The show will appeal to the 60-plus crowd, which is exactly the Vegas visitor demographic that has been dwindling in numbers over the past few years, so it will have difficulty finding an audience--I couldn't imagine recommending it to anyone, other than a Broadway buff in their 70's (and I only know one person who fits that description). Steve Wynn has proven that he knows a lot of things, but with Showstoppers, he has proven that he is completely out of touch with contemporary entertainment tastes. Given the demographic to which it will appeal, the show stands a chance of success if they cut the ticket price in half (with a further 50% discount if you show your AARP card), have a showtime of 5 pm and throw in the buffet for free. It's a shame that in a town where a really new and exciting show would be welcomed with open arms, the man who can have any show he wants decides he wants a dusty old Broadway review.
