Applauded
singer-impressionist and comedian Tom Stevens, who recently performed his 500th
show in Las Vegas, returns to the Suncoast Showroom for two
performances, November 5 and 6, each evening at 7:30 p.m.
Stevens performs his one-man
show throughout the country, paying tribute to more than 25 singers, including
Tom Jones, Neil Diamond, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Anthony Newley, Willie
Nelson, Julio Iglesias, Bobby Darin, Louis Armstrong, Cher, Sammy Davis Jr.,
Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
Along with his remarkable
singing tributes, Stevens is renowned for impressions of such celebrities as
Jerry Lewis, Jimmy Stewart, Bill Clinton, George Burns, Paul Lynde, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, Carol Channing, Bill Cosby, Robert DeNiro and
more.
To capture every nuance of
his subjects, Stevens spends countless hours perfecting each impression,
focusing on every vocal and physical aspect of the artist he’s portraying. His
characterizations are so uncanny that he’s been accused of lip-synching – a
criticism he takes as a compliment to his many years of hard work.
A native New Yorker, Stevens
began his career appearing in clubs on the East Coast. His incredible likeness
of Dean Martin’s looks and crooning abilities were put to the test when he
performed at the fourth annual Dean Martin Festival in Martin’s hometown, Steubenville, Ohio. The overwhelming response to Tom’s impression -- not
only Dino’s fans, but the people who knew Dean Martin when he was Dino Crocetti
-- provided Tom with return engagements to headline the festival for years to
come. At the festival, Tom had the pleasure of meeting and singing with Dean
Martin’s daughter, Deana Martin-Griffeth, who enthusiastically approved Tom’s
portrayal of her father, saying she’d “never seen anyone look and sound more
like my Daddy.”
Showtime each evening is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available for $10, plus tax and
convenience fees. Tickets can be purchased at any Coast Casinos box office, by
calling 702.636.7075 or visiting www.suncoastcasino.com.
