(LAMBERTVILLE, NJ) -- Music Mountain Theatre is presenting Viva Las Vegas weekends through May 21. The production features a playlist of familiar and beloved music and lets you take a stroll down the Vegas strip of yesteryear! Be dazzled by original costumes dripping with sequins and accented with thousands of feathers, inspired by the look of the archetypal, vintage "Vegas Showgirl." Photographer John Posada was on hand to take photos.

This is the newest addition to MMT's series of original concerts. Conceived by the theatre's Artistic Directors, Viva Las Vegas revisits the heyday of the Las Vegas Strip. Complete with music from the Rat Pack, Peggy Lee, Ann Margret, and –of course – Elvis, this night is sure to bring a smile to your face. The show will celebrate the extravagance of Sin City. Act I harkens back to the 1950s, remembering glamorous headliners like Dean Martin, Rosemary Clooney and Frank Sinatra. Act II moves into the hipster 60s featuring the music of Tom Jones, Burt Bacharach, and more.
