PLAYBOY'S ECSTASY is pure Greg Thompson, with non-stop electrifying dancing and fabulous singing interspersed with dazzling magic and hilarious comedy.
"It's rare when a producer keeps outdoing himself, but it's certainly a joy to watch," said Mel Shields of the Sacramento Bee.
The chrome man vs. machine set includes a conveyor belt and two-story lift that create dramatic entrances of singers and dancers throughout the produc- tion. The industrial, high-tech sensuality provides a spectacular setting for the superb costumes and dancing.
Lead dancer Shannon O'Keefe shines throughout the entire show. During a segment called "Man and Machine," O'Keefe dances, or moves, on two parallel poles suspended by two male dancers.
O'Keefe sets the standard for the ensemble of seven female and three male dancers who never miss a beat during the 60 minutes and 50 songs of this energetically-choreo- graphed production.
The tall feather headdresses, hats, capes and drapes created by costume designer and choreographer Mistinguett provide a vivid contrast to the spectacular white and silver images that surround the number.
PLAYBOY'S ECSTASY also features master magi- cian Phelston Jones and comedian Adam Leslie. Jones' electrifying light and magic show fires-up the audience, preparing them for the show's musical roller coaster ride.
