Reading about Terra Jole and her role as Mini-Britney in the Las Vegas Weekly, I was definitely curious to see her act live. I was lucky to catch an unscheduled 7 pm show last night at Krave's Harmon Theatre. (Their usual show starts at 5 pm, with a 4:15 pm happy hour to kick things off.)
Little Legends features little people impersonating some big stars. The host of the show, whose a comedian and magician, keeps the audience laughing and engaged in between acts.
Terra Jole has all the moves and costumes of Britney Spears and Madonna, but it's her strong voice that carries through when she sings Alanis Morissette and Cher. (The headset she wears for Britney and Madonna just doesn't carry her voice that well.) I would have loved to hear more songs that really showed off her vocal talent.
Also performing were two brothers (not twins) that can dance like no other in their Michael Jackson and Milli Vanilli performances. There were also two other performers, one playing the drums in the earlier set of the show and then another guy playing the role of Sonny later on. However, I feel like I got the short end of the stick. I thought there was going to be a mini-Tina Turner and a mini-Elvis Presley! Was my 7 pm show an afterthought, so I didn't get the true full performance?
Nonetheless, the show is pretty entertaining and relies heavily and on audience participation. With drinks being 2 for 1, it definitely helps when the audience is rowdy and engaging.
I hope that their full show does include Elvis and Tina. Otherwise Terra can do the whole show herself with the guys working as backup dancers for her the whole time.
Overall rating: 3.5
