Get ready for goosebumps, the glitz and glam of Las Vegas, right here in Joburg!
With less than a one month 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.
With rehearsals underway, we caught up with Harry Sideropoulos to chat about her thoughts on the upcoming show…
What song are you most excited to sing in Swingin’ Las Vegas 2025 And why?
I’m just a gigolo – and if you know Louis Prima, you know this tune is pure magic. He performed it in his Vegas residency, and it’s been one of my top 10 favourite songs to sing. But why this song, well, it’s all about sharing the stage with Craig. Last year, we tore up Me and My Shadow together, and it was a riot! So, I can’t wait to see how we’re going to blow the roof off with this one.
What can the audience expect from your performance? And the show?
Outrageous, that’s me, baby! Bigger, bolder, and full of frolicking fun. I’ve got some seriously hot numbers lined up, and of course, more sequins – because who doesn’t need more jackets covered in sparkles? The show features some of the best swing hits, from like Luck Be a Lady and Lady is a Tramp, but we’re flipping things around with big band swing versions of Celine Dion, James Brown, Lady Gaga, Elton John and Oasis. It’s going to be epic!
Your all-time favourite artist that’s appeared in Las Vegas, who’s going to be featured in the show?
Lady Gaga – I absolutely love how she takes pop and classic swing-time hits and transforms them into a one-woman vocal spectacle.
What 3 songs are you most looking forward to hearing the other artists in the show, perform?
The original Hello by Lionel Richie, Timothy is going to absolutely bring the house down with this one! Craig and Nadine performing Shallow from A Star is Born, and I can promise you, the audience will be on their feet before the first chorus even begins.
As for the finale… I’m not giving that one away just yet, but all four of us will be on stage for it, I use to sing it and dance it in my room with my ghetto blaster!
What excites you about returning to the show after last year’s season?
Performing with the Johannesburg Big Band, an 18-piece ensemble led by Maestro Adam Howard, is truly unbeatable. Add to that the incredible experience of performing in the iconic Teatro. And of course, being back on stage with those wild cats, Timothy and Craig, is the icing on the cake. I’m already looking forward to the backstage chit-chat, the laughter and some serious chin-wagging stuff too. I love these boys. And now with Nadine to the mix, it’s going to be a beautiful powerhouse of swingin’ fun!
