Terry Fator, Las Vegas. Las Vegas, Terry Fator. Now we’ve been introduced, who is this guy that has taken over the Las Vegas Strip, practically over-night? He’s the winner of NBC’s 2007 season of “America’s Got Talent,” the celebrity impressionist, singer, comedian and ventriloquist has been perfecting his craft for 32 years, all to achieve his dream of becoming a Las Vegas Strip headliner. And after entertaining millions of fans across the country with his highly successful tour, Terry Fator has taken a permanent residence at The Mirage with his new show Terry Fator & His Cast of Thousands.
“I’ve dreamed of having my own theater on The Strip for years,” said Terry Fator. “It is still hard to believe this is my reality, but it makes me grateful for the times I pushed on and never gave up.”
New impressions, new celebrity voices, new puppets and more laughs than ever – Terry Fator & His Cast of Thousands fills the stage with celebrity singing impressions and unparalleled ventriloquism, backed by a sizzling live band. Joining fan favorites Winston, the Impersonating Turtle, and the lovable Emma Taylor are two new puppet co-stars. Vikki, the hot-blooded “cougar,” and The Beatle, the original member of the legendary band, were created specifically for Fator’s all-new show at The Mirage.
Fator brings to life his puppet co-stars through comic banter and their hilarious takes on musical superstars. Throughout the show, Fator and his co-stars effortlessly perform the singing styles of an eclectic group of stars including Tony Bennett, Amy Winehouse, Elvis, Maroon 5, Justin Timberlake, Garth Brooks, Nat King and Natalie Cole, Etta James, Gnarls Barkley, The Beatles, James Blunt, Brooks & Dunn, Pussycat Dolls, Louis Armstrong, Fergie and even Kermit The Frog.
