Dance-tech dynamo iLuminate is sticking around. The award-winning production at the Strat Theater has extended its run through at least August 2027, a victorious continuing collaboration between creator Miral Kotb, producers SPI Entertainment and Strat operators Golden Entertainment. If you’ve enjoyed the Jabbawockeez and Blue Man Group—or if you like to dance—this show is for you, running nightly except Tuesdays at 7 p.m. Visit iluminate.com for more.
Another dance-centric extension: Michael Jackson tribute show MJ Livewill soldier on at the Sahara Theatre through October 31. Produced by TRP Entertainment, MJ Live has bounced from the Strat to the Tropicana to the Sahara in recent years, and this 1,200-seat space (formerly known as the Foundry) appears to be a comfortable home for the music and iconography of the King of Pop. Shows run nightly at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are at Ticketmaster.
And more MJ: Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson One just celebrated 11 years at Mandalay Bay and announced it’ll continue through November 2030. Since it opened in 2013, more than six million guests have experienced the show, totaling more than 4,500 performances. It’s onstage Thursdays through Mondays at 7 p.m. and info and tickets are available at cirquedusoleil.com/michael-jackson-one.
As reported in Weekly last month, Spiegelworld is ready to unveil DiscoShow at the Linq on September 7, with previews beginning August 14 at 7 p.m. and tickets available at spiegelworld.com/shows/discoshow. You may have heard the show is inspired by 1970s New York City and the cultural climate that gave birth to disco, but you might not know DiscoShowis replete with experienced, award-winning creatives including director Steven Hoggett, Broadway and West End choreographer Yasmine Lee, writer Michael Wynne and Tony-winning set and costume designer David Zinn. It also marks the next evolution of Spiegelworld’s all-in-one experience as the show is buttressed by new bars 99 Prince and Glitterloft, and new restaurant Diner Ross. Ready to dance?
Moving off the Strip and deep into the heart of Downtown Las Vegas: We couldn’t be more excited about the planned October 2 opening of Miss Behave’s Mavericks at the Plaza Showroom. Another version of this “flirty, filthy and fabulous blend of comedy, circus, burlesque and variety” originally opened at Cheapshot in the Fremont East district two years ago, and the brilliant Amy Saunders first brought Miss Behave to Las Vegas in 2018 at what was then Bally’s. The new show promises to spice up the Downtown entertainment scene and make use of a charming and overlooked classic venue. “It’s a marriage made in heaven,” Saunders said in a statement. “This beautiful showroom has been looking for an excuse to show off, and Mavericks is perfect for that.”
