“The Magic of Music” takes audiences on
a quantum leap and musical excursion through
the ages! Aspiring dancer Divine has given up

of Vegas but like so many others, she didn’t
quite make it. Disheartened and despondent,
she is ready to pack it up and take the midnight
train back home. But, something odd occurs,
which makes her realize that it wasn’t the
glitz or glamour of Vegas at all, but the magic
of the music that brings true peace and joy.
As she leaps through the eras, Divine is able
to experience the personal joy of many great
entertainers of the past. A simple wish and
single prayer have unlocked the improbable. The
audience, like Divine, is swept away on a magical,
musical journey that encases a “Touch of Vegas!”

and interactive musical. Flappers dance to the big band sound of “Night train”.
Periodically, your waiter surprises you and sings a tune over desert. Before you
know it the show is over, you’re up, you’re dancing, you’re singing… You pinch
yourself, and then you realize… You’re in the midst of an ‘old fashioned, magical,
“Down Broadway” experience!
“The staff is still raving about how good you all were and how much everyone enjoyed themselves.
I didn’t think it would have been possible to be even better than last year, but you all have
managed to reach a new height of excellence at this year’s Codie awards banquet.”
