What would you do if it looked like you were on your way to achieving your lifelong dream and then something happened? Singer-impressionist Danny Gans has his heart set on playing third base for the Dodgers. All his life, that was all he could think about. After college, he signed with the minor leagues and it looked like it was all systems go for the young hopeful. Alas, an Achilles tendon injury brought his efforts and dreams to a crashing halt.

“I had to have immediate surgery and following surgeries; I just couldn’t get back into the game,” Gans recalls wistfully.

Fortunately, Gans was blesses with a powerful singing voice and a natural ability to make people laugh. His mom, Alta, encouraged him to pursue a career as an entertainer and he spent the next fifteen years traveling all over the United States singing with bands, doing stand-up and creating a remarkable collection of on-the-money impressions. It was a talent that would propel Gans to the top of his field.

Over the years, Gans caught the eye of the people who plan entertainment events for large corporations and he was soon high on their list of sought-after performers, often entertaining stadium-sized crowds. He began flexing his acting muscles with appearances on hit shows such as “Married With Children” and “Roseanne”, and recurring roles on series such as “Silk Stalkings” and “Open House.” Then, he was spotted by the prestigious Nederlander Group, who lined him up with his own one-man show on Broadway.

But it was bringing his show to Las Vegas that brought Gans the greatest joy. He could finally settle down to a normal life with his wife and children. He could have dinner with them each evening, he could attend his son’s Little League games, play a round of golf, work and drive home after work.

Gans entertains in the theater that bears his name at the Mirage and his show is one of the hottest tickets in town. You must see Gans’ extraordinary performance-it will be an unforgettable experience for the entire family.
