Vikram Chatwal Hotels Will Get You into Two Hot Broadway Shows

If last week's Tony Awards put you in the mood to see some Broadway theatrics, Vikram Chatwal Hotels will put you in front of two of the hottest shows, Fela! and Promises, Promises.

Seeing Jay-Z and Jada Pinkett Smith share producer credits for a production is enough to pique our interest. But if you need more reasons to catch Fela!, about the life of Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, it won three Tonys this year, including one for best choreography.

As part of the Fela! at the Time package, The Time will snag you two orchestra or front mezzanine tickets to the show, dinner at Serafina, memorabilia from the musical and a night in a king room in the Times Square hotel. And if the great music gets you in the mood to move, you can add on African dance lessons for two at Djoniba Dance Center. Prices start at $425 a night.

'The Producers' at Paris Las Vegas to Close Feb. 9

Where: 3655 Las Vegas Boulevard South [map], Las Vegas, nv, United States, 89109

Maybe Broadway shows in Las Vegas aren't doing as well as we thought. Paris Las Vegas just announced that they will be shutting down the production of "The Producers" on February 9th.

David Hasselhoff had first starred in the show when it opened last August as cross-dressing director, Roger Debris. Then Tony Danza brought his fading star wattage to the production as Max Bialystock. Aside from Baywatch and Who's the Boss? fans, the show struggled. Not even the extreme form of advertecture (seen above) probably could pull in big ticket sales.

Other failed Broadway productions on the strip include "Hairspray" at the Luxor which only lasted four months, and "Avenue Q" at Wynn which lasted nine months.

There's hope for "Spamalot" at the Wynn which opens in April and "Jersey Boys" at the soon-to-open Palazzo Las Vegas but we guess people would rather blow $100 at the tables then spend it on a show.
