Comedy musical Shangri-La-La at the Arlington Drafthouse July 22-24!
EntSun News/11061417
Do you remember Siegfried & Roy, the famed Las Vegas magicians? Well, then, also remember the adage "All that glitters is no gold." This is a comedy musical about them.
ARLINGTON, Va. - EntSun -- Here is the musical's story in a nutshell: After becoming an assistant to the iconic Las Vegas act "Siegfried & Roy," naive Joshua, a German immigrant, learns the hard way that "Sin City" is more than just a nickname. With raucous detours into crime, punishment, and Las Vegas' unique brand of "Hometown Justice," Shangri-La-La is a wild ride through the lives and times of the most successful magic act ever to grace the Vegas strip. A musical and sensorial extravaganza -- you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder why! Turns out all that glitters ain't gold!
Ever heard of the Hanging Judge, Roy Bean? Maybe Judge Isaac Parker? They were judges in the Wild West, and they handed down "justice" however they saw fit, laws be damned. Small wonder mobster Bugsy Siegel built the first casino on the Las Vegas strip, The Flamingo, in a town that still follows the cherished tradition of "Hometown Justice" goes to the highest bidder.

Mike Meier wrote the story and music. He explains, "You may think that the story behind this musical can't possibly be true." Well, you'd be wrong. Long before #MeToo (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/metoo), I was the attorney for victims of abuse against two glittering Las Vegas celebrities. Let's call them Siegfried and Roy. I was professionally and financially destroyed during the case, as was the main plaintiff, who was driven out of the country. So, what did I do? I turned around and wrote a Musical Comedy about the events! I mean, what else could I do?"
The story is the basis for a TV series that has been in production for the past four years. The shows at the Arlington Drafthouse will be filmed for the TV series.
