Dazzling Musical Production Opens at Harrah's on January 12 LAS
VEGAS, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Friendship, fun and
fabulousness meet in HATS! at Harrah's Las Vegas. This witty stage
show chronicles one woman's anxiety over her impending fiftieth
birthday and how she chooses to embrace this landmark event with
the support of her friends. Already a smash hit with audiences and
critics across the country, the 75- minute comedic musical
production has been designed with a Las Vegas flair and will hit
The Strip on Jan. 12, 2008. HATS! features seven dynamic and
compelling women whose unique approach to celebrating life appeals
to audiences of all ages. The show centers around Maryanne and the
wild cast of characters who accompany her on her journey toward the
dreaded 50. The zany and unpredictable Ruby introduces Maryanne to
the outrageous La Contessa Confessa, and the bold and brassy
Dutchess DeLovely. The Baroness, a diligent corporate executive,
offers her own brand of "real world" wisdom and experience.
Maryanne's mother, Lady, is filled with optimism and enthusiasm for
her daughter to embrace 50 and is supported by her best friend, the
tireless Dame. Outrageous costumes, scenic design, clever
choreography and memorable music make HATS! a truly unique
production. The story is told through the music by an acclaimed
songwriting team of Grammy, Golden Globe and Tony award-winning
artists including Susan Birkenhead, Kathie Lee Gifford, Melissa
Manchester, Henry Krieger, Pam Tillis and many others. The Chicago
Tribune raves that HATS! is a "classy look at getting older and
better! A music-and-comedy celebration! It will make a lot of
people feel empowered. It does so with integrity, craft and heart."
Variety says, "This is a feel-good show that's really about feeling
good." On her morning radio show, Whoopi Goldberg praised HATS!:
"If you want to see something really magnificent, not just a great
musical but a magnificent presence, go see HATS!" HATS! is inspired
by the fun-loving lifestyle encouraged by the Red Hat Society.
According to founder Sue Ellen Cooper, the Red Hat Society (RHS) is
a worldwide organization with over 30,000 chapters in all 50 states
plus 25 countries offering fun, community and empowerment for
passionate, likeminded women who believe in the joys of sisterhood
at any age. With distinctive red hats and purple outfits, RHS
members can be found everywhere. The organization is celebrating
its 10th anniversary in 2008. HATS! is presented by Dick Foster
Productions, in association with Sibling Theatricals Inc. [SIBE].
