It's taken a while to get to this, but it definitely deserves a mention. I posted before about Erich Bergen of the Jersey Boys at Palazzo Las Vegas teaming up with Steve Friess of VegasHappensHere.com to present Las Vegas Celebrates the Music of Michael Jackson at the Palm's Pearl Concert Theater. This was the fundraising concert to benefit Las Vegas schools' arts and music education. It started out as a small thought in the Liberace theater, that grew into the 2500 seat Pearl at the Palms. That venue was donated by Palms owner George Maloof.
A Benefit Tribute to the Music of Michael Jackson will be held at the Pearl Concert Theater at the Palms on August 29, 2009, what would have been his 51st. birthday. It's brought to you by 6W Entertainment and VegasHappensHere.com.
The event will be hosted by Palazzo Las Vegas "Jersey Boys" star Erich Bergen, and will benefit Clark County NV.'s The Public Education Foundation, with every penny of the funds going to local public school music education. In addition to other cast members and musicians from Jersey Boys, other cast members from Las Vegas shows are scheduled to appear. (7 comments)
