‘DISCOSHOW,’ the newest effort from ‘Absinthe’ producer Spiegelworld, set for LINQ in July
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Producers of the acclaimed ‘Absinthe’ show in Las Vegas have announced their newest effort in the entertainment capital of the world, and it’s making the case that disco is not dead.
Spiegelworld’s DISCOSHOW will bow on July 27 at The LINQ Hotel + Experience in Las Vegas. The show will run Wednesdays through Sundays at 7:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. and will be approximately 70 minutes long. Tickets will start at $99.
“The world of DISCOSHOW is inspired by the spirit of David Mancuso’s legendary New York City loft parties which began on Valentine’s Day 1970 at his home, later moving to a multi-level space at 99 Prince Street,” the news release from Spiegelworld said. “They were a wild extension of the childhood parties the nuns used to throw at his orphanage, complete with colored balloons, punch and a simple record player. While New York faced its toughest times, and President Ford told the city to ‘drop dead,’ Mancuso and his friends simply said, ‘let’s dance.’ The DJ stood at the altar and salvation was found on the dance floor. Disco was born.”
The soundtrack to the new show promises disco hits like Le Freak, Good Times, We Are Family, Disco Inferno, and Everybody Dance. DISCOSHOW’s creative team includes Broadway luminaries who, in the past, worked on productions such as Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, Once, and Spongebob Squarepants, among others.
“DISCOSHOW’S culinary and entertainment offering is unrivalled [sic] by any other in Las Vegas history,” said Ross Mollison, founder of Spiegelworld. “I urge you to get your thesaurus out and set the volume to hyperbolic; the people need to know how Vegas this is gonna be.”
Tickets for DISCOSHOW go on sale Saturday at 10:00 a.m. at the Spiegelworld website.
