It’s going to be an entertainment- filled summer at Beau Rivage Resort & Casino as a new piano bar and symphony series join the lineup that includes CIRCOVIA, the summer production show.
Ivory’s Dueling Piano Bar is now open with high-energy live music and audience participation on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. “We listened to our guests and wanted
to enhance our nightlife experience this summer,” said Beau Rivage Vice President of Marketing Brandon Dardeau. “Ivory’s will be a great venue to hang out with friends, enjoy a few drinks and listen to great live music by some of the best piano players in the country.”
CIRCOVIA opens June 9 and runs through August 7. “Escape to the imaginary world of CIRCOVIA, a
realm where
amazing beings are seen through
the eyes of a young girl,” said Beau Rivage Public Relations Director
Mary Spain. “Produced by DreamCast Entertainment exclusively for MGM Resorts International’s Beau Rivage, this cirque-style experience will
please audiences of all ages with
a breathtaking cast of acrobats, aerialists, dancers and performance artists showcasing some of the world’s finest talent.”
The Beau Rivage Symphony Series begins on June 22 with Gladys Knight and a 24-piece orchestra and continues through the fall. September 7 features Peter Cetera, followed by Michael Bolton on September 21 and Johnny Mathis November 30-December 1. “We’re creating different orchestras for each event made up of musicians from the Gulf Coast, New Orleans, Mobile and Pensacola,” Spain said.
The Coast Seafood & Brew restaurant kitchen will close at 9 p.m.
on Thursdays,
Fridays and Saturdays as the venue transitions to Ivory’s Dueling
Pianos. Two-time Guinness World Record Holder Tim Buie will lead
two pianists in playing hits and audience requests. At 45 minutes past each hour, lucky participants can
have “15 Minutes of Fame” with an opportunity to sing onstage with the musicians. Buie will be joined in a rotating cast of exceptionally talented musicians including Brad Heron, Nate Sangsland, Tim Georgeff and Laura Wiley who have more than 6,000 songs in their repertoire, ranging from rock n’ roll to contemporary, classic rock
to country and R&B to show tunes. Admission is free.
CIRCOVIA is staged in the Beau Rivage Theatre Monday – Thursday at 7 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. and dark Fridays. Tickets start at $12.95 with room packages and military discounts available.
