The hottest new production show in Las Vegas has burst onto the Las Vegas scene at the Excalibur Hotel & Casino. "Tournament of Kings" delights audiences with a medieval flair, jousting, invading armies, dragons, fire-wizards, and one hell of a dinner.
Performed in King Arthur's Arena, the new $1 million production/dinner show features new sets, lavish costumes, theatrical jousting and sword fighting. "Tournament of Kings" is a fantastic excursion into the intrigue and excitement of medieval Europe. Set amidst the backdrop of a fanciful feast, this colorful romp of dancing and celebration quickly takes a sinister turn. The opening sequence features the entire cast in a procession of marching and syncopated drumming, setting the tone for an incredible evening.
Originally conceived by Peter Jackson, "Tournament of Kings" is produced by his son Patrick, of Royal Productions, Inc., along with his creative team. The main star of the show is the audience itself, which is led through a chorus of cheering and singing.
Stunning costumes by Emmy-nominated French designer Michel Fresnay drape each cast member in medieval authenticity. The original score, composed by Scot Rammer and arranged by Joseph Blaum, is a sweeping, emotional work, leading audiences on a musical journey as exciting as the jousting. Fire-blazing pyrotechnics light up the arena numerous times as Mordred, the fire wizard, tries to stake his claim in Avalon.
The showroom has been completely renovated, with new décor, new lighting, and a new sound system. The new production replaces the long-running "King Arthur's Tournament" which has played to sell-out crowds since it opened with Excalibur in June of 1990. |
