This recession is hitting everybody it seems, even the glittery "girls" of An Evening at La Cage, the drag revue at the Riviera in Las Vegas. As a 14-year resident, I'm quite familiar with the host of the show, Frank Marino, though I've never seen the show. I did see the rival show, the now defunct Boylesque with Kenny Kerr a couple of times many years ago. It was funny, but drag singers lip-synching has always a bit of an enigma to me.
Still, the show has been running for nearly a quarter-century, and it is a little stunning to see it go away. Of course, Kenny Kerr saw his show cancelled over and over, so I'm sure that Marino will find a new gig before long. Good luck, girl!
