The Space Gets Hotter this Fall
with Broadway and Hollywood Recording Stars
The Space just west of the Las Vegas Strip announces Fall Concert Schedule
LAS VEGAS, AUG. 16, 2018 — With a venue reminiscent of San Francisco’s underground music scene in the 1960s, The Space has quickly earned a reputation for hip and intimate experiences unparalleled in the city built on exceptional entertainment. Located just behind Aria and The Cosmopolitan, The Space is announcing an eclectic fall concert and event lineup that includes Tony winner John Lloyd Young from Jersey Boys, Wicked star and recording artist Shoshana Bean, brilliant Native American performance artist Alexandro Querevalú, and Michael Winslow of Police Academy.
Initially created as the home of Mondays Dark, a twice-monthly celebrity-driven variety show that has raised more than $800,000 for local charities in southern Nevada, The Space also has emerged as the haven for the arts and artists in Las Vegas, presenting a wide variety of avant-garde concerts, performances, comedy shows, and other events in an intimate setting.
“In a short period, The Space has captured the attention of the entertainment scene here in Las Vegas and beyond,” said Mark Shunock, the venue’s owner and creator. “I knew we would host some amazing shows in between Mondays Dark, but I never thought that our funky theatre off the Strip would attract the national and international talent it has. In The Space, audiences appreciate the up-close and personal vibe they get with the performers.”
The autumn concert line-up includes:
Aug. 30 Stage Door Cabaret: Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding – An inside look at the show with the cast performing songs and skits, sharing stories, and more
