More than a decade after premiering a hit residency on the Strip, Boyz II Men are back with four shows at the Chelsea at the Cosmopolitan.
It’s good to be the king.
Buoyed by his sold-out premiere on the Strip last summer, Mel Brooks returns to the throne at Wynn Las Vegas’ Encore Theater next spring.
“An Evening with Mel Brooks” is set for it second run April 27-28. Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at the Wynn Las Vegas box office.
Brooks twice filled Encore Theater on June 30-July 1. He had just turned 91 last summer when he made his Strip debut.
The week before those shows, Brooks told the Las Vegas Review-Journal about his appreciation for the city.
“I love Las Vegas, I really do. … There’s nothing like the Vegas vibe,” he said. “You can walk from one hotel to another and there’s always something different. A different sight, a different smell, a different look. It’s just a great place.”
The stage show is a mix of Brooks’ TV and film clips, covering such high-water marks as his “1,000-Year-Old Man” TV and album routine with Carl Reiner, and the comedy film classics “The Producers,” “Blazing Saddles,” and “Young Frankenstein.”
Brooks-Lewis connection
Brooks and the late Jerry Lewis were friends and collaborators dating to the early 1960s, when Brooks helped draft the screenplay for “The Ladies Man.” Lewis had hoped to catch Brooks at Wynn Las Vegas, but was not healthy enough to make the shows. Instead, Lewis sent a message to Brooks, wishing him good luck.
Lewis died Aug. 20, less than two months after Brooks’ performances.
