Shangri-La-La: A Comedy Musical About Siegfried &amp; Roy
What happens when two ambitious young immigrants come to America, reinvent themselves in Las Vegas, charm the world, build a rhinestone kingdom at The Mirage, and then discover that even white tigers have limits?
Shangri-La-La is a fast-moving new comedy musical inspired by the rise of Siegfried &amp; Roy — with original songs, Vegas glamour, impossible dreams, outrageous costumes, magic, friendship, immigrant reinvention, Steve Wynn, Bugsy Siegel, and just enough tiger danger to keep everyone alert.
Written by Mike Meier &amp; Peter Giambalvo, the show is part showbiz fairy tale, part immigrant dream, part Vegas fever dream — and, yes, inspired by actual events. Unfortunately.
The New York performances are part of the Midtown International Theater Festival and will take place at the American Theatre of Actors in Midtown Manhattan.
Come for the music. Stay for the magic. Leave with a renewed respect for tigers.
Performances: July 25 and July 26, 2026 Venue: American Theatre of Actors, New York City Tickets: Available through the Midtown International Theater Festival (MITF)/Eventbrite /TheaterMania

He was never just one thing — that was always the point. A shapeshifter who turned reinvention into an art form, who taught a generation that you could be strange and luminous at once, that the outsider could become the icon. On Friday July 31st, by overwhelming demand, David Bowie by Daddy Rabbit is back for another night of tribute, tenderness, and total transformation performed by world-class musicians.&nbsp;
Expect the hits reimagined — stripped down, built back up, drenched in new color. Come for the man who made "different" feel like a superpower — and stay for a room full of strangers who, for one night, all speak his language.
Daddy Rabbit is a uniquely immersive live music event at New York City's coolest speakeasy. Pulling together classically trained pianists, bassists and horn players with jazz singers, MCs and beatboxers, this is an ever-changing carousel of world-class sound. This live music event mixes original compositions with unique interpretations of Soul, Jazz, Rock, Funk and RnB classics. An intimate setting in the round, it's a show where you can literally stand with the band. 
Sing, dance, drink, nibble and make merry at the coolest speakeasy in NYC.
The better you dress, the better we play.
