Human
Nature, Australia's vocal group sensation, announced today a new headlining
residency at The Venetian Las Vegas. The new show, titled Smokey Robinson
presents Human Nature: The Motown Show will begin on Saturday, January 19,
2013.
Calling
Las Vegas home since 2009, Human Nature came to Las Vegas as the #1 vocal group
in Australia and quickly became one of the Las Vegas Strip’s favorite shows.
Performing to sold-out audiences regularly, the multi-platinum selling band has
brought the classic Motown sound full circle. Human Nature has released nine
albums, five of which went to #1 in their native continent, selling millions of
records world-wide and garnering 23 platinum awards, 70 Top 40 hits and five
Top 10 hits. Their chart-topping Motown tribute, Reach Out, went
five-times-platinum, attracting the attention of famed songwriter Smokey
Robinson, who recorded “Get Ready” with them and ultimately became a presenter
of their Motown show. The group also toured Nationally in the U.S. in 2012,
scored a #1 position on the Motown Charts and released their latest Motown CD
and DVD following their PBS TV special in 2011. Human Nature will now call The
Sands Showroom (formerly the Venetian Showroom) at The Venetian, a 742-seat
venue, home for a two year residency. In true Las Vegas fashion, their first
show at The Venetian will be their 777th show on the famed Las Vegas strip.
“We
are incredibly proud to be bringing our show to one of the most iconic casinos
anywhere" said Human Nature's Andrew Tierney, "The support we have
had in this city has been extraordinary and we can't wait to get more and more
people dancing and singing every night with our versions of the most amazing
music ever produced - Motown!”
“Once
we heard those smooth harmonies of Human Nature, we knew they were a perfect
fit for The Venetian,” said John Caparella, president and chief operating
officer of The Venetian and The Palazzo. “This is a show you want to tweet
about the minute you step out of the theater.”
“We
are thrilled to be moving our new production of this show into The Venetian Las
Vegas said Producer Adam Steck, Founder and CEO of SPI Entertainment, Inc.
“Human Nature has achieved incredible success in Las Vegas over the past three
years. Headlining at the Venetian is a perfect match for the guys and their
show and it is really a dream come true. The guys are incredibly talented and a
genuine Las Vegas success story who continue to attract and thrill audiences
from all over the world. I can’t wait to get started in our new home."
