Ultimate Vegas showwoman Kelly Clinton and Missy Cochran Entertainment brought in the 2011 New Year at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas with a stellar production of “Rewind” – a co-produced tribute to the acts of classic old Las Vegas. Featuring a killer seven piece band and several tribute artists portraying Frank Sinatra, Ann-Margaret, Liza Minnelli, Dean Martin, Wayne Newton, Tom Jones, Marilyn Monroe, and Sammy Davis Jr. Elvis, the show also starred the fantastic Missy Cochran Entertainment dancers, and Lena Prima, singer and daughter of music legend and Las Vegas icon, the late great Louis Prima.

Please note that this was not a Diva Las Vegas production, but I was happy to step in and help as Kelly Clinton’s personal assistant and stage manager for the musical acts and band that evening. I had a great time. Check out these clips to get a glimpse of how much fun the audience had with all of this fabulous local talent!
