Tuesday, May 6, the first Chinese production to take up a Las Vegas residency celebrated its landmark 100th show
PANDA!, the first-ever Chinese produced show to take up a Las Vegas residency, celebrated its 100th show Tuesday, May 6, at The Palazzo® Las Vegas. Audience members who packed the house at The Palazzo Theatre were invited to sign their names on a commemorative banner on their way into the show. John Caparella, president and chief operating officer of The Venetian, The Palazzo, and Sands Expo, and Elizabeth Hansen, director of Asian leisure sales and marketing, were on hand to present the creative principals and cast with a specially designed cake from The Venetian and The Palazzo’s pastry team in honor of the 100th performance.
“As the first resident Chinese show in Las Vegas, we’re honored and humbled to celebrate 100 magnificent shows at The Palazzo,” said director An Zhao. “100 shows is a testament to the amazing talent of our wonderful cast and creative team.”
Combining high-flying acrobatics, mystifying martial arts, music, and dance, PANDA!features a talented cast of world-class performers from China National Acrobatics Troupe, Shaolin Monastery Kung Fu Monks Troupe, and China Star Dance Troupe.
Featured on the national television show, The Talk (CBS), and seen in USA Today and DuJour Magazine, PANDA! has quickly become a Las Vegas favorite with its visually-stunning effects and breathtaking performance feats.
From executive producer Zhong Min Xu, producer Hui Wang, and director An Zhao, PANDA!was welcomed in January with proclamations from several politicians, including Sen. Dean Heller, Sen. Harry Reid, and Rep. Dina Titus.
PANDA!performs Friday through Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. For up-to-date schedule information, including dark dates, or to purchase tickets ($68 – $158) visit any Box Office at The Venetian and The Palazzo, or go online to www.venetian.com, or call 702.414.9000.
