Get ready for goosebumps, the glitz and glam of Las Vegas, right here in Joburg!
With just more than a week to go until audiences can enjoy the glitz, the glam and sensational sounds of Las Vegas right here at home in Fourways, Johannesburg.
Experience the electrifying energy of Vegas nights, brought to life by the impressive 18-piece Johannesburg Big Band led by Adam Howard, alongside the electrifying vocals of Craig Urbani, Nadine, Timothy Moloi and Harry Sideropoulos.
Swingin’ Las Vegas 2025 will be on stage at The Teatro, Montecasino for 8 performances only, spanning two weekends in May from 16 – 25 May 2025.
We caught up with producer and Johannesburg Big Band conductor, Adam Howard to chat about the upcoming show…
What artist are you most excited to pay homage to in this version of Swingin’ Las Vegas 2025?
I’m really looking forward to our Celine Dion moment with Nadine – who really does sound amazing on Celine Dion songs – and we are paying homage to Elton John too – which will be special – and some other legends like Lionel Richie and even Oasis!
What song do you think will be your favourite to play with the Johannesburg Big Band?
That’s a hard one! Frank Sinatra’s “The Lady is a Tramp” is a classic, but I am also looking forward to performing Lady Gaga’s “Shallow”!
How did you go about putting the show’s set list together?
It starts months before – as we compile around 60 – 70 potential songs – looking at who has performed in Vegas – and then trying to have a journey of sorts as we progress through the years of Vegas – making sure we have an entertaining show and discussing song choices with our singers.
For those who didn’t see last year’s show, what can they expect from Swingin’ Las Vegas 2025?
Swingin’ Las Vegas 2025 pays homage to all the stars that made Vegas – Vegas! – From Frank Sinatra and The Rat Pack, Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald to modern-day stars such as Céline Dion, Robbie Williams, Michael Bublé, Oasis, Elton John, Lady Gaga, Lionel Richie and more!
Our 4 singers – Timothy Moloi, Craig Urbani, Nadine and Harry Sideropoulos will be backed up by the 18-piece Johannesburg Big Band – and the set design and lights swill be world-class.
For those audiences who attended last year, why should they return?
Whilst the name of the show is the same – we have a brand new set list – so if you enjoyed the musical journey we took you on last year – you won’t be disappointed – and can enjoy even more classic songs from THE world’s most loved singers.
From Frank Sinatra to Lady Gaga – Swingin’ Las Vegas 2025 salutes all the stars who have made Vegas what is was and still is.
