Presented by Danny Gans and Chip Lightman of GansLight Entertainment, Donny & Marie is an energetic, 90-minute variety show that incorporates singing, dancing, comedy and the stars’ signature brother-sister banter. The intimate Flamingo showroom allows for plenty of audience interaction, so fans can get up close and personal with Donny and Marie. Eight highly skilled dancers and a talented nine-piece band complete the production that has dazzled audiences and earned rave reviews: “They’re installed for a six-month run at the Flamingo, but they could easily reign for four years — and be reelected by a landslide for another term.
