Get ready to scream, shimmy and raise a little hell! This Halloween, Las Vegas entertainer Melody Sweets returns to Myron’s at The Smith Center in Symphony Park in Downtown Las Vegas for “Halloween,” a wickedly wonderful evening of music, burlesque, comedy and theatrical spectacle haunting the stage for one night only on Saturday, Oct. 31, at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale today.
And this isn’t your grandmother’s Halloween party. Known for her powerhouse vocals, razor-sharp wit and deliciously dark sense of humor, Sweets is throwing the ultimate Halloween séance with a killer band, glamorous ghoulfriends, legendary characters and enough burlesque to make the dead blush.
“Halloween is my favorite night of the year! I’m thrilled to be spending it onstage with Las Vegas instead of barricaded in my bedroom, trying to convince my 160-pound Dogue de Bordeaux that tiny Spider-men and inflatable (yet strangely relatable) dinosaurs are not actually invading our home,” jokes Sweets.
Sweets will lead audiences on a thrilling musical journey featuring everything from the dark theatricality of Alice Cooper and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins to the sultry glamour of Eartha Kitt and Nancy Sinatra. The spellbinding evening will also feature a collection of Sweets’ own hauntingly alluring original songs, creating a deliciously twisted cocktail of rock, jazz, cabaret and Halloween mayhem.
Backing Sweets will be an all-star band of musical monsters featuring Robert John Kley on standup bass, Sergio Adame on trumpet, Andrew Weir on guitar, Andrew “The Fury” Friedlander on saxophone, Marshawn Fondren on drums and Michael Spadoni on piano.
Of course, no Melody Sweets Halloween party would be complete without a little burlesque and wickedly wonderful witches. Joining her onstage will be her glamorous ghoulfriends Buttercup, Maude Zoleum and Cervena Fox, whose seductive burlesque performances promise to bring plenty of sparkle, skin and supernatural sass to the celebration.
Adding even more tricks to the treats, special guests The Ghost of Gazillionaire and Penny Pibbets (“Absinthe”) will make appearances throughout the evening, delivering surprises, comedy and Halloween hijinks. Come dressed as a witch, vampire, movie star or your most fabulous self. Tickets are available at The Smith Center Box Office.
And just when you think the spell is broken, Sweets will return to Myron’s this holiday season with “Dear Santa …” for two ] Christmas performances, bringing her signature blend of music, comedy, glamour and theatricality back to the stage.
