Wynn Las Vegas To Get 'Spamalot'?

Posted by Hunter

According to LVRJ's Norm Clarke, Wynn Resorts is close to signing up the hit Broadway musical 'Spamalot' for their Las Vegas resort.

Hard to see how this would fit in with the rest of the resort's entertainment offerings.

'Avenue Q' is set to open in the Broadway Theater in September and Le Reve is running in the Wynn Theater, custom built to their specifications. While Steve Wynn is known to embrace change and fix things that don't work, backing away from Le Reve would be a major cost and a black mark for the resort.

Perhaps 'Q' will share the Broadway Theater with 'Spamalot'? Or perhaps this deal is for the upcoming Encore expansion, though that is still several years out.

This is already a done deal. It will open in 2007, it is not part of Encore. Wynn said all along, that he has room at Wynn for 4 theaters. This will be the 3rd show.

Why can't Vegas get the Producers, which is a better show? I hate Spamalot because I feel that we're not actually in this other world (IE, Camelot) but watching actors on stage, playing actors in a musical.

Grr.
