My boyfriend and I went to see THRILLUSIONS on Saturday, September 27th at the Harrah's Theater, and we absolutely loved it! I usually have trouble dragging him to shows, because he's not really the musical type, but this was different. This is more like a rock concert had a baby with a magician, and it really appealed to both of us. \r

There were three ""celebrity"" acts: Tina Turner, Rod Stewart and Prince (well, not really them, but I believed it!). I was swooning at Prince and loving Tina's witty banter with the audience, while my boyfriend was absolutely fascinated by the illusions. I think he was also a little too fascinated with the Thrillicious Dancers (ahem), but I guess I can't really blame him -- those girls are gorgeous, and boy can they dance!\r

All in all, I was really impressed by the production value of this show, and it was just plain old fun! We left laughing and singing along, and couldn't wait to meet all the characters face-to-face afterwards in the lobby. I hope this show comes back to Harrah's, because I want to see it again, and next time, bring a few more friends! I think it would be even more fun for a group.\r

Oh, and did I mention that James Brandon (the illusionist) is a total hottie? ;-)
