Featured Review

Every part of the show, muscians, singers and of course Wayne himself was absolutely supurb. I haven't seen Wayne since the late 60's or early 70's and that was at a theatre in the round in West Covina. He was on with Jack Benny who said Wayne was his prodigy. He left me with a great impression then. Now after 40 years he has grown to be a great entertainer. Loved every part of the show. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Our seats were great about six feet from the stage. We were moved up because of the lack of audience. I knew we were in trouble when I didn't see his name on the marquee as the taxi drove up, there was a small sign but the enterance. His first song was GREAT," Viva Las Vegas", thought I was saved. He spoke most of the show and the clips of his past were too long and how did the Mills Brothers fit in? I have seen a lot of older artists and found their shows enjoyable becuase they bring in the past and introduce new talent, Frankie Vallie and Cher. He's been on Dancing with the Stars, he can play some wonderful instruments why not incorporate some current ideas into the show more. My kids age 18 and 23 just found his music on itunes and thought he would be great to see him but it was not what they expected.

Upon arrival to the theatre, we advanced up the stairs to locate our seats in the balcony - we were then ushered to the wrong section and had to decend the steps to get to the other side of the theatre. The theatre was way too warm! Everyone was complaining. We did not hear any of the words Wayne Newton was singing. The show started late and ended after only 1 hour 15minutes. We were very diappointed with the show. How does he make inLas Vegas?????

It was an honor just to see this man. I love him and he was a great entertainer. I saw him a few years ago in Wheeling and he was great!! This concert was just painful to watch. As someone who loves and respects this man, I must say it's time to step down. Each note he tried to sing sounded like someone with pneumonia trying to sing a song. They tried to cover him up with a loud orchestra (the orchestra was great by the way). He may have made it through 2 complete songs, but sounded like he was in pain the whole time. The rest of the songs were him singing little parts and then playing an instument or letting his 2 backup singers take over. It was actually a pretty sad evening. I took my mom and she agreed. Wayne you were fantastic in your day, but it's the end of the road.

Even as he gets up in years it's obvious he still loves to entertain, which he still does very well. Maybe his vocals aren't what they once were so he shares the moment with his backup singers and orchestra. The band was great, the music memorable and I would see it all over again if the opportunity should arise.

I have always been a fan on the cheesy Vegas lounge scene, and jumped at the chance to see Wayne Newton. Sadly, I was unaware that he'd lost his voice. The man looked good and played a whole host of instruments. However, when it came to singing, his pipes were just shot. That being said, I enjoyed meeting him and thoroughly enjoyed the show. The best part was watching all the old, blue-haired ladies swooning for him. The parts where he sings with tapes of other dead Vegas performers like Sammy and Dean was a little odd, but strangley touching. Definitely for the older, more forgiving crowds. Would I recommend it? Only if you are a die-hard Wayne fan. I feel I spent more money to see it than I should have. About $150 per person including the meet and greet.

It was sad. He's a wonderful man, great entertainer and show business is clearly his life. Unfortunately, he's lost his voice. Can't carry a tune nor hit a note anymore. The venue is a dump, the theatre and show's sets are dated and timeworn. I'd rather remember him as he was 15 years ago.

The show was a combination of singing, playing instruments, and video representing Wayne's 50 years in Las Vegas. I'd forgotten how wonderfully Wayne plays so many instruments. Watching Wayne perform with so many of music's entertainments greats left me a little jealous of the wonderful and special experiences he has had that we only dream of experiencing.

The voice is gone. He sounded like he may have had a cold and he was coughing off the mike. He should not have sung a note. His instrumental solos were great, did not know he could play so many instruments.
The orchestra and the backup singers were absolutely wonderful.
Overall, it was a good time but i felt embarrseded for him when he was singing.

Wayne is as innovative now as he was the first time I saw him back in the 70's. He is an incredible performer and such a geniune person. His love and caring for others has made him a phenomenal star. His career has spanned for 50 years. He is an amazing man and a talented performer that will live in history as an icon..

A Night with Wayne Newton at the Beau Rivage

- Fri, Oct 9, 2009 @

Favorite moment: Some one left him a note and asked him to sing Happy Birthday Kathy it was my name and my birthday not my note but felt it was for me @

Setlist: Wayne in true Vegas style came out to the same intro his Friend Elvis used - the laymen title is 2001 and began singing CC Rider. He followed that with Viva Las Vegas. There were several other Elvis Songs or songs that Elvis also sang, he played Let It Be Me on the guitar and also Spanish Eyes very classicly - played the piano, fiddle and banjo also. He did many of his standards and several that were requested but not on the playlist for the night - he ended it with American Trilogy @

Location: Saw him in Biloxi, MS - live in Alabama

It was a great night - Wayne was very personable - he took time to do request, speak to those that walked up to the stage and read notes left there for him.
He made you feel like you were just a bunch of friends sitting in his den and sharing some songs with.
His voice when he spoke often sounded like it was a bit stranded but when he sang it never showed. He joked with his instrumentalist - some who travel with him and some that were local and he thanked each group - he also shared his stage with his back up singers allowing them to sing duets with him or a song of their own. Some would say that because he has been playing Vegas for 50 years he is no longer the same performer he once was and needs to have someone help him fill the time. I think by telling us about the folks in his group and sharing their talent one on one makes it more like family - instead of saying I liked that lady in the sequins dress you knew her name and what all she had accomplished and that she wasn't just someone bought cheap to sing harmony. It is a family and we were able to be part of it. His family is also helping to sell the memorbilia that everyone wanted to take home to remember the night by. It is part of their life they are sharing and not just another sale.
It was an experience long awaited and so worth it - the only thing that could have made it better was to have been one of the lucky ones to go back stage for pictures and to have been closer to the stage to see the twinkle in his eye without aid of side monitors. Also to have had some pictures taken at the show to remember it by but pictures were not permitted.

Wayne must have had a chest cold and was hoarse for the show. None of his singing was good. His voice broke and wavered continuously. He seldom finished a song, did a lot of intros to his famous recordings and stopped after a few lines.
There was a lot of time taken introducing and thanking members of the band. The female vocalist did a solo that was a cross between a yodeling contest and starsearch.

HIs stage presence was good and his talent with several instruments was excellent.
But overall, the show was a disappointment.

I waited so long to see his show-missed him in Vegas- and then had back problems the whole week prior. I was in tears that I wouldn't enjoy the show (not going wasn't an option!) but saw the Dr. that morning and he gave me a shot in my back. It was such a wonderful show. I laughed and cried and enjoyed it more than I ever expected. My husband had a great time and he didn't really care to go. I know some of Wayne's jokes will make the rounds at my husband's office on Tuesday. He has a class act and I'd recommend it to anyone. The only drawback was there was no encore. But the show was long and well worth the money.
