Summary

Louis Prima and Keely Smith’s musical sound and style defined an era that has transcended generations and has become timeless in its appeal. The Wildest!!! arrives at a moment when Louis Prima, Keely Smith, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and other Las Vegas icons are being idolized as musical heroes. It captures a unique era - the nightclub years of the late 50’s and early 60’s - and is a journey to the past that is sure to either evoke cherished memories, or lead some to new discoveries!

This exciting musical features nearly 40 tunes performed on stage with a live band, including “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “Just a Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody,” “That Old Black Magic,” “Sing, Sing, Sing,” and “I Wish You Love."
