Now here\u2019s a combination you can bet on, and you don\u2019t even have to fly to Vegas, baby! Based on the 1992 film, Honeymoon in Vegas<\/em> tells the tale of scared-of-the-altar Jack and his long suffering girlfriend, Betsy, who fly to Vegas to tie the knot. In walks con man on-the-make, Tommy, a dashing Vegas gambler who believes Betsy is a spitting image of his deceased wife. The winner is the audience who goes on a hilarious romp through love, humor, and competition for true love. This romantic comedy comes to life at the Marriott Theatre<\/a> in Lincolnshire now through October 15 and will leave you in hysterics.<\/p>\n

Samantha Pauly as Betsy has looks that are as beautiful as her voice and she was delightful. Jeff Award-winner Michael Mahler as Jack is in his prime with comedic antics at its best, especially when he joins rank with the Elvis impersonators. Jeff Award-winner Sean Allan Krill was the suave, sophisticated con man with a great voice, who you don\u2019t trust anyway. But Marya Grandy as Jack\u2019s late mother, Bea Singer, stole the show every time she was on the stage. With a big booming voice and great lines, Grandy got a thunderous applause on opening night. Of course, the flying Elvis impersonators brought the house down. Mention must be made of the new overhead screens that helped light the scenes, bringing a bright, colorful addition to the sets. And of course, the costumes were show-stopping thanks to the imagination of Emmy Award-winning costume designer Brian Hemesath.<\/p>\n

The winning team included 10-time Jeff Award-winning director Gary Griffin, Tony Award-nominated choreographer Denis Jones, and Jeff Award-winning musical director Ryan T. Nelson and Jeff Award-winning associate choreographer William Carlos Angulo.<\/p>\n
