“We are so excited that we are finally able to reopen ‘WOW’ at the Rio and once again entertain the Las Vegas audiences that have embraced our show and our cast over the last three years,” said creator and director, Hanoch Rosènn. “After the last 16 months our cast is thrilled and ready to return to the stage with many of the audience’s favorite acts, as well as a few new ones that will for sure ‘wow’ our audiences.”
Rosènn is known worldwide for his extravagant and large-scale productions, including “Festigal” where he directed Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot in her stage-acting debut in 2008. Rosènn created “WOW” as a fast-paced, stunning spectacular which, to date, has been seen by more than 2.5 million people.
“WOW” made its North American premiere in 2017 in the Rio Showroom at Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino which was transformed into a world of water including a custom-built stage and pool that promises an up-close and interactive audience experience. Though grand in scale, design and production, the family-friendly show will provide Las Vegas audiences with an intimate theatrical water show adventure unlike any other.
