Panda! takes a giant step in Las Vegas in a visually 'stunning' production
The Venetian and Palazzo Las Vegas debuted Panda!, the first Chinese show to take up residency in Las Vegas, earlier this month. The 47-member troupe, led by acclaimed Chinese director Zhao An, opened to worldwide audiences just two weeks before the Lunar New Year.
Produced by China Jingwen Records and Global Panda Entertainment and directed by Zhao, who helped produce the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Panda! is a spectacle combining high-flying acrobatics, thrilling martial arts and Chinese music and dance.
"It's an authentic Chinese show with Chinese magic, Chinese opera, Chinese dance and choreography. But we put in a lot of Western cultural concepts so that audiences from both East and West can enjoy it as great entertainment. Our cast of world-class performers will also prove to everyone that talent is borderless," Zhao says.
