Comment from Hudson

After a three-year hiatus, stage performer, singer, occasional songwriter, and sometimes actress, Celine Dion has recently debuted a new show in Vegas at the Colosseum this past week, and it’s a sure-fire success with all stops pulled. Rave reviews have fallen from the press wires drawing comparisons to Frank Sinatra and his Rat-Pack days, as well as quotes like “resounding success.”

Singing her classics and new material, Dion has dropped her backup singers and instead picked up a 31 piece orchestra set and artisan stage management. While the orchestra serves to put an electrifying jolt into the evening, playing down the Colosseum’s massive stage was a trick done with apparent good taste and subtlety. Now the attention rests squarely on Dion, her music, and her, let’s admit it, endearing personality.

Even tough veteran critics like Mike Weatherford have given the show, simply named ‘Celine,’ top notch reviews. Having awarded the show an ‘A’, Weatherford, who hasn’t always been a fan of the singer, claims that there’s something for everyone in this show, and that her highlights come in the middle of her set, where she offers a song list so diverse as to claim the names of Michael Jackson and Ella Fitzgerald.

Celine Dion turns 43 this March 30th, and has apparently really come into her own. She’ll be playing at the Colosseum for a three year stint and sounds like she just might help pull Las Vegas firmly out of the recession.

WE GIVE VIATOR FIVE STARS!
In July 2012 we booked two Hop-on-Hop-off tours with Viator, one in Barcelona and one in Marseilles. This is an outstanding company to do business with. They are very accommodating and customer oriented. I would book tours with Viator without hesitation in the future. They respond to questions/concerns rapidly and candidly. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!
