e's
the "Entertainer of the Year" in Las Vegas, and
his show is
the hottest ticket in town. He's being called the
finest
singer-comedian-impressionist-actor in the business
by entertainment critics and his peers alike. Audiences
of
all ages go wild over his award winning show. Who is
he?
He's Danny Gans.
Gans hadn't planned to be an entertainer.
His boyhood
dream was to play 3rd base for the Dodgers, and he was,
in
fact, drafted by the Kansas City Royals, while still attending
high school in California. Sadly, an injury forced
him to decline the
flattering offer, but, sometimes, opportunity knocks more than once.
When he was in college, Gans had to turn
down another draft offer, this one was from the Chicago White Sox. Then,
two years later, Gans' life long dream came true: he signed with the
Dodgers organization. But, not long after the elation, it all came to a
crashing halt during his 1st season. A career-ending injury turned his
life upside-down.
With the love and encouragement of
friends and family, Gans shifted his focus from baseball to
entertainment.
He had been blessed with a marvelous singing voice,
the
ability to make people laugh and a rare presence
that would manifest
itself in his new career.
Gans spent 15 years traveling through the
United States, working at his craft and perfecting a vast repertoire of
characterizations. At the same time he became one of the most
sought-after performers in the prestigious corporate world, often
playing to stadium-sized crowds for major, international companies such
as IBM and Heinz. He was the darling of the Fortune 500 list. Fellow
entertainers such as Bill Cosby and Joan Rivers raved about Gans, and it
became apparent that Gans was destined to be a star.
However, though Gans had zoomed to the top of
the list
of entertainers in the lucrative market, it meant being away
from his family 240 days a year. So, when the opportunity to move his
show to Las Vegas presented itself, where he could settle down to a life
with his family, Gans knew that
it was the right move.
In doing so, Gans' commitment to his family
had been doubly rewarded; the family is happy to call Las Vegas home,
and Gans has taken the town by storm. On top
of the record breaking
crowds and consistently sold out shows, Gans has been showered with
accolades and rewards. He's the talk of the town, and his name is on
the
lips of visitors even before they arrive in Las Vegas.
With a hit album on the horizon, Gans' next
step is television. He has agreed to work with producer Aaron Spelling
and his production company to develop a new television series, to be
filmed in Las Vegas.
Completing the picture of success, Gans' has
signed a multi-year agreement with Mirage Resorts, the premier gaming
company in the world. He recently opened in his own 1,250-seat theater
at the Mirage, in Las Vegas
If you want to see one of the
early shows, don' t wait to make
reservations.
Some ticket cate-
gories are selling out fast and
some dates
