AMAZED! – THE MAGIC OF MUSIC AND COMEDY
SHOW OPENS JUNE 27TH IN V THEATER
Las Vegas (June 26, 2009) – The most original concept to come to the Vegas entertainment scene in a long time is at the V Theater. A musical comedian? What is that?
No, it’s not the typical comedian who repeats the same three cords on guitar behind a silly song with an obvious hook. How about a classically trained guitarist (yes, he actually has a degree) who has received standing ovations at all eight of his appearances at the world renowned Carnegie Hall in New York City and the very next morning had millions of the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom radio show listeners pulling off the side of the road laughing hysterically. Billed as the “World’s Funniest Guitar Virtuoso,” Mike Rayburn anchors the newest hit on the Vegas Strip; AMAZED! The Magic of Music and Comedy. Las Vegas afternoons will never be the same.
As creator and producer Josh Wainright explains, “the revolving cast of AMAZED are all the best in the business at what they do, and Mike is the perfect example of the essence of this show. We want our audiences to leave the V Theater thinking ‘that was the funniest, most entertaining show I’ve ever seen.’ There are many funny comedians who involve music in their shows and there are a lot of musicians who are very funny entertainers, but I have never seen another who had the ability to do both with equal proficiency. You really have to see it to believe it.” Whether it’s Rayburn’s version of reggae legend Bob Marley singing Garth Brooks, or his adaptation of the classic Dueling Banjos as it might sound if one of the players was from the Middle East, Mike Rayburn and the cast of AMAZED are truly original and an absolute must see!
Other notable regulars to this all star revolving cast include the star of Las Vegas’ own Keep it Funny, Tim Gabrielson, who you may recognize from his past performances on the Strip at venues such as Harrah’s, Monte Carlo, Circus Circus, and the Rio. Helping pull it all together is internet sensation and college entertainment legend Buzz Sutherland, who has been voted “Campus Comedian of the Year” a record 16 times! Buzz is the creator of one of the most popular internet downloads in history and is sure to keep everyone doubled over with pangs of laughter.
AMAZED! The Magic of Music & Comedy performs at 2:30 PM daily at the V Theater in Planet Hollywood Resort at Miracle Mile Shops. To make reservations telephone 702.932.1818 or visit www.varietytheater.com.
The V Theater is located at Planet Hollywood Resort at Miracle Mile Shops and is also home to V-The Ultimate Variety Show, Fab Four Live, Mesmerized, Gregory Popovich’s Comedy Pet Theater, American Storm, The Mentalist Live, Sin City Comedy Show and Stripper 101.
