<title>Justin Willman to Bring LIKE A MAGICIAN, BUT COOLER to Suncoast Showroom, 7/13-14</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://images.bwwstatic.com/columnpic6/2D56C8EA7-D7EF-D61E-7162ECF4A063C5AF.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right:10px; width:200px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Television personality and entertainer Justin Willman performs his unique magic act in &amp;quot;Like A Magician, But Cooler&amp;quot; at the Suncoast Showroom July 13 and 14.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Willman currently hosts the hit shows &amp;quot;Cupcake Wars&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Last Cake Standing&amp;quot; on the Food Network and is the star of &amp;quot;HubWorld&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Scrabble Showdown&amp;quot; on the Hub Network. He can also be seen as the witty correspondent on the &amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://broadwayworld.com/people/Rachael-Ray/&quot;&gt;Rachael Ray&lt;/a&gt; Show.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He appeared in the Showtime documentary &amp;quot;Make Believe&amp;quot; in 2011, guest-starred on the hit CBS show &amp;quot;The Defenders&amp;quot; in 2012 and made a cameo on the long-running Disney Channel sitcom &amp;quot;The Suite Life on Deck&amp;quot; in 2009. He&amp;#39;s also the creator and executive producer of the video-on-demand TV series &amp;quot;Turning Tricks&amp;quot; on the DirecTV network.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Willman began entertaining at the age of 12. After breaking both of his arms trying to ride a bicycle while wearing rollerblades (a hopeless attempt to impress girls), he started learning card tricks as an alternative to physical therapy. Nicknamed by his mother as &amp;quot;Justin Kredible,&amp;quot; he officially turned pro when his parents hired him to perform at his sister&amp;#39;s fifth birthday party.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Showtime each evening is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available from $15.95, plus tax and convenience fees. Tickets can be purchased at any Boyd Gaming Box Office, by calling 702.636.7075 or visiting &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.suncoastcasino.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.suncoastcasino.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

<title>BWW Reviews: LEGENDS At 30 Is Still Lots of Fun</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://images.bwwstatic.com/columnpic6/29B45A423-A7C7-F30D-C16F17E2182EE4E0.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:left; margin-right:10px; width:200px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Celebrating 30 years,&lt;em&gt; &lt;a href=&apos;http://music.broadwayworld.com/venue/Legends&apos;&gt;Legends&lt;/a&gt;  In Concert&lt;/em&gt; is the second longest-running show in Las Vegas. Recently moved to a 4 p.m. slot Sunday through Friday, with 9:30 shows Sunday and Monday, &lt;em&gt;Legends&lt;/em&gt; is now in the (appropriately legendary) Flamingo Showroom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When &lt;em&gt;Legends&lt;/em&gt; began its run, there wasn&amp;#39;t the plethora of impersonators - or, as they&amp;#39;re more acceptably called today, &amp;quot;tribute artists&amp;quot; - we have now. There are entire shows built around one act and, like &lt;em&gt;Legends&lt;/em&gt; shows that feature a number of acts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While it&amp;#39;s arguable that some of those showcased are not precisely &amp;quot;legends&amp;quot; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://broadwayworld.com/people/Lady-Gaga/&quot;&gt;Lady Gaga&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://broadwayworld.com/people/Britney-Spears/&quot;&gt;Britney Spears&lt;/a&gt;, for example) many are and all are successful. The performers rotate in and out of the shows, often traveling from Las Vegas to &lt;em&gt;Legends&lt;/em&gt; outposts in Atlantic City, Branson, Myrtle Beach, Hawaii and other locales.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the edition I saw Saturday at the Flamingo, there were five performers. First up was &lt;a href=&quot;http://broadwayworld.com/people/John-Anthony/&quot;&gt;John Anthony&lt;/a&gt; as &lt;a href=&quot;http://broadwayworld.com/people/Rod-Stewart/&quot;&gt;Rod Stewart&lt;/a&gt;. Anthony is an absolute look-alike and performs with the tremendous enthusiasm of the man to whom he&amp;#39;s paying tribute. His act is lots of fun to watch and, also, to sing along with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Second on the stage was Katie Murdock as &lt;a href=&quot;http://broadwayworld.com/people/Britney-Spears/&quot;&gt;Britney Spears&lt;/a&gt;. She&amp;#39;s a real look-alike and has the moves correct. Sadly, she also has Spears&amp;#39; voice correct. It is irritating and, since the majority of her audience for this show is older than Spears&amp;#39; demo, one fears her efforts are wasted on them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next was &lt;a href=&quot;http://broadwayworld.com/people/Steve-McCoy/&quot;&gt;Steve McCoy&lt;/a&gt; as &lt;a href=&quot;http://broadwayworld.com/people/Tom-Jones/&quot;&gt;Tom Jones&lt;/a&gt;. McCoy is the tribute artist chosen by Jones himself in a contest held in Atlantic City. Jones has introduced him from the stage saying, &amp;quot;He does me better than I do.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With dark curly hair, McCoy is mid-career Jones and goes over the hits with an excellent voice and Jones&amp;#39; moves down pat. In fact, when he held the last notes of &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;ll Never Fall In Love Again,&amp;quot; the audience applaud&lt;a href=&quot;http://broadwayworld.com/people/Ed-Loud/&quot;&gt;Ed Loud&lt;/a&gt;ly and at length.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fourth performer was Damien Brantley in a tribute to &lt;a href=&quot;http://broadwayworld.com/people/Michael-Jackson/&quot;&gt;Michael Jackson&lt;/a&gt;. He is a really good dancer, has Jackson&amp;#39;s look and the voice and is a fine reminder of what Jackson brought to the stage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every &lt;em&gt;Legends&lt;/em&gt; show closes with Elvis. At the performance I saw he was Harry Shahoian. He, as he has been when I&amp;#39;ve seen him before, does a good Elvis and, since the music he does is so familiar, it was fun to sing along.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Singing along is key to the entire enterprise. We&amp;#39;re hearing familiar music and it&amp;#39;s lasted because audiences enjoy it. Here, the enjoyment is palpable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Spears is out of place in this company, the music is uniformly good. even when it&amp;#39;s tracks, rather than played live. The band is terrific.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What&amp;#39;s not terrific are the dancers that intrude on so many of the performers. For example, &lt;a href=&quot;http://broadwayworld.com/people/Tom-Jones/&quot;&gt;Tom Jones&lt;/a&gt; does not and never has appeared with showgirls. He does here. So, wrongly, does Elvis. Not necessary. The originals did and do get by with the music alone. Dancers are extraneous&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

<title>EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL Announces Lowered Ticket Prices</title>
<description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.bwwstatic.com/columnpic6/2A040482D-DBDF-182F-5F59DA4B25B3F95E.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; title=&quot;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; style=&quot;margin-right:10px;&quot; width=&quot;200&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;Evil Dead the Musical is offering fans a chance to get their fill of blood-soaked action, and they don&amp;#39;t even need to bring their own chainsaw. In honor of Punk Rock Bowling and Music Festival, &lt;a href=&quot;http://broadwayworld.com/people/Sirc-Michaels/&quot;&gt;Sirc Michaels&lt;/a&gt; Productions is offering Buy One Get One (or 1/2 off) General Admission seating to the show.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;When I started producing stage shows, I was doing stuff no theater would let us walk through the doors with,&amp;quot; said &lt;a href=&quot;http://broadwayworld.com/people/Sirc-Michaels/&quot;&gt;Sirc Michaels&lt;/a&gt;, producer of Evil Dead The Musical. &amp;quot;I cut my teeth producing shows in punk bars and clubs. It&amp;#39;s where I got my start, and it&amp;#39;s always been close to my blackened little heart. I want to personally invite these guys to come and check out the show. This is the sort of show they&amp;#39;d love. Forget the French clowns and the magicians. We&amp;#39;ve got hot chicks, a zombie horde, a hero with a chainsaw for a hand, and 20 gallons of fresh warm blood spraying over Splatter Zone seating!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
