Great interview and insight. Very inspiring to those of us putting up our shows in Vegas.
Hey, Don! Thanks for the kind words and for checking out the show. I get a kick hanging with all you producer-types!
Awesome Interview, Mr. Saxe. Keep up the amazing work.
What a fantastic show, David Saxe is incredible and has hit the nail on the head. So many of us miss the old Vegas shows and the camaraderie between the entertainer and the audience.
I miss the old casino bar shows that were mostly in the afternoon where you could go in, have a drink and see a show. We saw so many back in the 70’s including Roger Williams, Shecky Green, Bobby Vintin with George Carlin in the audience.
Hope to check out the Vegas The Show in June and I am going to try and find David Saxe website to see what other show he has. Love Vegas and really enjoying your VegasVideo website.
thanks
