| - Hmmm, this really is a toss up! Somewhere between 1.5 and 3 stars. Let me just say, it's a good thing his contract is almost up.
The acts he debuted on America's Got Talent were awesome. Fator does amazing impressions of Adele, Elvis, and that famous frog throughout the show. I would say the puppets and his acting make this part of the show worth 4 stars.
However, let me begin with why the show would be in the two star range. First and foremost, can you talk about cheezy?! Like many other Yelpers mentioned, here are my main objections to the show:
-WTF is with the plugs for the "charities"?! Seriously! I paid heaps and tons to see a headline show in Vegas, not some community outreach crap for all the various charities of the world. Now mind it, I support the charities he was plugging and our veterans. However, I almost feel like his tribute songs, the super lame slideshows (it seriously looked like a middle schooler prepared them on PowerPoint) and the depressing story about some couple losing their child demote the charities rather than helping them. It's great that he cares about these causes, but keep your personal life out of your headline show in Vegas! He even goes onto say purchases in the gift shop will benefit wounded veterans. I think I would much rather donate on my own terms and know exactly where the money is going. For all we know, 5 cents out of the 10 bucks or whatever he makes on those stuffed turtles could actually go to help people. Talk about cheezy! Fator mentioned something about his agents recommend he remove those parts. He needs to listen them!
-Next is the random "sexy" helper woman! What is her deal?! Super random. I guess she's there to show off her body. Way to show a consistent message with his so-called "charity community outreach". I heard Terry and his wife broke up so he could marry the random "provocative style" helper. Talk about being a sleezeball! At this point in the show, it came clear that Fator was actually an inconsiderate, redneck, cheezy performer better suited for old timers. This new personality was totally conflicting with the random helper. Fator seriously dumped his loving wife for this "hot girls want to meet you style" woman?!
-The clientele was not what I was expecting. Pretty much everyone was over 60, making his old more stuff more relevant I guess. For the younger crowd, it's hard to relate to. Don't bring your little kids-- it's way too old and boring. There's also some much more mature content than I was expecting. This also relates to his song selections. Pick some contemporary stuff please!! All the old stuff and random stories had me drifting off during the show (it is really hard for me to fall asleep during a show!).
Overall, the original stuff he did on America's Got Talent is awesome and from the Terry Fator I knew. All this other crap during an expensive headline show in Vegas seriously bogged down the performance. Unfortunately, I would not recommend it even though I really wanted to like it.
Oh, and one more thing. They let the audience take pictures throughout the show. While this seems cool at first, it is super distracting! Flashes constantly go off. This gives you an idea of how "great" the show is. I'm sure his "lawyers" would not let this go down if they actually thought the content was amazing.
