Showbiz Magazine
By Hilary L. Green

Singer-impressionist Danny Gans is one of the hottest performers in Las Vegas. He consistently plays to enthusiastic, packed houses in the gorgeous, state-of-the-art theater that bears his name at the Mirage. His star-studded, award-winning show is considered a “must-see” entertainment experience for the whole family and one that audiences want to see over and over again.

Gans has an ever-expanding repertoire of more than 300 dead-on characterizations from which he selects between 60 and 100 for each show. He gauges the audience’s taste and customizes each performance for fit their collective taste. Consequently, no two shows are alike. At one moment, Gans may move flawlessly from an on-the-money David Bowie or Eric Clapton to Janet Jackson or Kenny Loggins without missing a beat. He may switch from a hilarious Garth Brooks or Neil Diamond to Aaron Neville or Frank Sinatra in the blink of an eye. Or, he may have the audiences in stitches with his Jeff Foxworthy bit followed by an impressive “N Synch song.

Gans accomplishes these rapid-fire transitions with minimal props and with remarkable accuracy, right down to the celebrity’s gait, their facial expressions and even their most subtle mannerisms. It’s an extraordinary talent that has garnered Gans a great deal of national attention and which has enabled the talented performer to perform on television, in theater and on the big screen.

Each show is a marvelous blend of nonstop humor, great music and a touch of drama. Gans interjects topical subjects into his show, too, often including an event that may have occurred that day. Sometimes members of the audience will shout out requests, which prompt Gans to come up with a new character on the spot. You never know who’ll show up on the stage!

Don’t miss the inimitable Gans in his hit show at the Mirage. It will be an evening that you will long remember.
