News: Toni Braxton Debuts Vegas Act
Toni Braxton, unveiled her Celine Dion-like live production show "Toni Braxton: Revealed" last Thursday at Flamingo Las Vegas. An invitation-only audience (that included Earvin "Magic" Johnson, 'Vegas' "Entertainer of the Year" Danny Gans, EUR's Lee Bailey, record exec Garnett March and more) saw the Severn, Maryland native perform such hits as "Unbreak My Heart" and "Breathe Again," in a production described as a musical and visual journey that showcases Braxton's recording career, family and personal voyage."
"Toni's background is so diverse that we were able to leverage her Broadway experience and combine that with the energy of her live concert tour," said director Andrew Logan. "Her passion as a singer and skill as an actress has allowed us to take the show to another level."
Braxton's elaborate stage show includes nine dancers and choreography that incorporates a variety of styles. Costumes range from a seductive, flamenco-style dress to vintage inspired couture. One outfit sports over 11,000 Swarovski crystals constructed on nude netting with over 25,000 decorative stones. The hand-beading process alone took 120 hours to complete.
"Revealed's" specially-designed set features a 9' x 16' LED screen display that runs a video montage of Braxton's personal life as well as imagery tied to many of her most popular songs. Audiences are given an inside look at Braxton as a mother and an artist.
After the premiere Thursday, Braxton and her husband Keri Lewis headed to Pure Nightclub for a private afterparty.
