OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN IN CONCERT:
Olivia Newton John is one of the top-selling recording artists of all time, but to many fans she'll forever be doe-eyed Sandy from the 1978 blockbuster film Grease. Newton John's Summer Nights residency at the Flamingo in Las Vegas takes its name from one of Grease's most popular musical numbers, and a medley of beloved songs from the film's soundtrack provides the centerpiece of the show. Newton John rounds out the experience with pitch-perfect performances of her early country material, songs from the Xanadu soundtrack, and pop hits like "Physical", making for an unforgettable night of career-spanning hits, something true fans won't want to miss.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in England and raised in Australia, Olivia Newton John got her start performing with a short-lived Melbourne girl group called Sol Four. She appeared on various Australian TV programs before traveling to Britain in 1966 to record her debut single "Till You Say You'll Be Mine". In 1971 she released her first solo album If Not For You, scoring her first No. 1 hit with the title track and landing another hit with follow-up single "Banks of the Ohio". In addition to landing seven consecutive No. 1's on the Adult Contemporary chart during the '70s, she experienced considerable success as a country artist with a popular cover of John Denver's classic hit "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and her Top 10 hit "Let Me Be There", which earned her a Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. The pinnacle of her fame came in 1978 with her starring role in the musical film Grease and its accompanying soundtrack, which spent 12 weeks at No. 1 and still appears on Billboard's Top Soundtracks chart today. The '80s saw Newton John shed her good-girl image in favor of the edgier look and sound as she unveiled on 1981's "Physical", an international smash and the decade's top-selling single in the US. In 2014 she debuted her Summer Nights residency show at the Flamingo in Las Vegas, earning praise from critics and fans alike for her elegant performances and perfectly preserved voice.
Loved it!! She sang all her hits plus some wonderful new songs. I would definitely go see her again!
Olivia Newton-John did a fantastic show. The show was too quickly over and that means one wanted it not to end. Her voice was on key and she sure can still belt it out. She did all her hits and did duets with her band member, who were also awesome. She was well worth it.
Olivia was engaging from the moment she walked on stage. A walk down her memory lane of hits and the odd album track. She sat with two guitarists and sang her country styled hits. Showcase her range and versatility as a performer.
Great songs and great music by an amazing artist. Definitely a must see show.
Very enjoyable show, upbeat and filled with stories and songs. Only down side was in the first half of the show, the band was drowning out the vocals and she has such a lovely voice. Second half was much better in that regard.
If you had more than five stars to give I would. I've had the pleasure of seeing Olivia Newton-John in concert four times from 1976 to now, and she only gets better every time. I saw this Vegas show last year, and of course I wanted to see it again this time. If she stays in Vegas another year I will likely go back to see her again. Both times I did the meet and greet. I recommend that to everyone. You won't meet a nicer, friendlier, or gracious person. Also, it's very affordable compared to most meet and greet packages, and a portion of all ticket sales goes to fight breast cancer. As for the show itself, Olivia's voice was perfect, her band was great (many of them have been with her for years), and she did (most of) all her hit songs. Go see Olivia's show, if you are in Vegas!
Olivia puts on a great show. She sang all the hits with great energy and spunk. Very interactive with the crowd. Olivia is a total crowd pleaser!
The show was great, she's still got a great voice. Great banter with the audience. I'd see her again!
She still has it. Loved her show. It was a little short and I was a bit sad that all of her first hits were halved, but overall the performance of Olivia and her crew were great. It was a fantastic 50th birthday celebration. (The five of us had O-L-IV-I-A on our shirts)
Olivia sang many of her old songs and took us down memory lane. She has a beautiful voice and we all enjoyed the show in the small Vegas venue.
Olivia and her band gave a great performance. Very professional from beginning to end !
The 1.5 hr show relies on Olivia's ability to belt out her songs. She employs 4 backup singers and a 5 piece band. There are no dancers to distract you from focusing on the main reason for being there.
Olivia was unbelievable during her performance. She has not lost a step in her singing and dancing routines. She was engaging and seemed to like performing even more than when I saw her in1975. It is her love of life and zest for giving her best that was so eye and ear catching.
What an awesome show Olivia put on at the Flamingo in Las Vegas, very classy lady and what a fantastic entertainer. This is the second time we have seen Olivia Newton-John and she really knows how to entertain!
Went and saw the concert on a thursday and it was an amazing concert... She's still got it... great singer... great performer I highly recommend to go and see her... and if you're a fan like I am you won't be disappointed.
Olivia Newton-John: Summer Nights - was amazing!!! She sang for 90 minutes, I found myself hoping that it would never end. I knew all the songs... it was fantastic!!
Great time in Vegas, excellent concert. Olivia still has a beautiful voice.
This Lady still has an amazing voice very enjoyable concert a great walk down memory lane and of course the grease numbers. Overall a must see.
Olivia at the Flamingo Hotel put on a wonderful performance. Her voice,, beautiful! The stories told between songs were entertaining. Did the meet and great and it was worth every penny.
I thought that watching Olivia in concert would be the best event ever, and it was, she was so fantastic, that I could have watched her every night, I wish that she could come to Ontario Canada in which I would go again and see her, she is the best and always will be.
