At the Palms this weekend, Sat and Sunday 7:30. Watch for this show which may pop up in AC, Vegas or elsewhere.
Jeff Trachta is a singer and impersonator, also singing impersonator. He impersonates every
Thing from singers to singing groups to comics (including dead -on Joan Rivers), to tv stars, to opera singers, to animated cartoons, to his dog.
Better show than Danny Gans was, I thought.
Show has a big screen behind him where you see shots of people or things he is impersonating, as well as him in costume and makeup being people or entire song groups.
Material is extremely funny, with him choosing very good comedy material by comics or others, as well as just good songs (both impersonated and a couple of him singing as himself).
Fans of soap opera may remember him as handsome lead (Thorne Forester I think) on Bold and Beautiful in 90s, but that show didn't do him justice.
Show is nonstop, with instant changes between voices, really difficult material to do well I would think, and he does it impeccably.
Anyway, I knew he was a good singer, but I had no idea of how great an impersonator he is or how great a show.
If any casino execs are reading this, I would advise you to catch his act and book him. This is a top notch show that should be in its own theater like Terry Fator is and Danny Gans was.
Material also runs the gamut from nostalgic tv to current singers and comics, so all age groups will enjoy, and very little blue material to offend anyone.
I was surprised how good this show was, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
