America’s Got Talent has been appointment television in my household for many years. It’s a very well-produced reality competition series, providing plenty of memorable moments (and, let’s face it, some not so memorable) as the country gradually winnows a list of competitors down to one grand prize winner of $1 million and a headlining show in Las Vegas. Even if you’ve never seen the show, odds are you’ve been to see some of the past winners: Terry Fator, Shin Lim, Tape Face, Piff the Magic Dragon ... the list goes on and on.
And now you get to see some of next generation of future Strip performers all in one place: America’s Got Talent Las Vegas Live, a variety show at the Luxor like no other on the Las Vegas Strip, pulling together some of the most beloved acts of the last few seasons (both those who won the $1 million and runners-up) in a show that’s as well-produced as the NBC hit series it’s based on.
The entire production is hosted by comedian Preacher Lawson, a high-energy, highly personable individual who keeps the proceedings moving at a brisk pace. You’ll hear the emotional, reverberating messages from poet Brandon Leake and the incredible musical talents of Kodi Lee. Magician Dustin Tavella will confound you with his illusions while touching your heart at the same time (all three men won their respective seasons). There’s also the incredible acrobatic talents of husband-and-wife team Duo Transcend, as well as the nail-biting, death-defying knife-throwing skills of Deadly Games.
But wait—we’re just getting started. You’ll also get to hear the singular voice of singer Jimmie Herrod, thrill to the mixture of dance and technology with Light Balance, and wonder how The Clairvoyants are pulling off their mental feats. In the immortal words of Simon Cowell, I don’t like this show … I love it.
