“This new show by song and dance man, Rick Faugno, is a Tour de Force of Pop, Rock, Soul, Funk, Blues, Jazz, Latin and just about every musical genre imaginable! Faugno, the critically acclaimed original Las Vegas Frankie Valli in “Jersey Boys,” is fresh off of his success with his first one-man show, “Songs My Idols Sang (And Danced),” which played to packed houses and rave reviews. Rick now returns with something completely different. The musical boundaries have been broken with this eclectic mix of multiple styles, making for a rollercoaster ride of a show. This is a journey of self-expression through music and dance that recalls the great performers of the past. Nowhere else can you see one performer bring together so many different styles of music and make them his own. Don’t miss this one of a kind experience!” – Hilton Las Vegas
