The Show at Agua Caliente Rancho Mirage Celebrates 10 Years Of Entertainment in Southern California’s Premier Concert Theater

JERRY SEINFELD AND TONI BRAXTON HEADLINED SOLD-OUT PERFORMANCES ON WEEKEND OF CELEBRATIONS

Rancho Mirage, Calif. (March 5, 2019) – Celebrating a milestone 10th Anniversary presenting hundreds of the biggest entertainment acts in the world, The Show at Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa Rancho Mirage was at capacity this past weekend for performances by R&B diva Toni Braxton and comedy superstar Jerry Seinfeld.

On Saturday, March 2, Seinfeld made his inaugural appearance at The Show and had the audience in stitches with his signature stand-up routine. The night before, on Friday, March 1, seven-time Grammy winner Toni Braxton brought her “As Long As I Live” tour to The Show in support of her current Sex & Cigarettes album. It was her first appearance at the venue also.

Both events sold out, and audiences have been flocking to The Show since its opening on February 12, 2009, excited by the up-close experience the venue offers along with its luxurious amenities. At The Show, more than 2,000 seats are comfortably spaced across four levels, with no seat more than 125 feet from the stage, creating an intimate space to experience legendary performances. Twelve boxes offer gourmet catering, private bars and lounges.

While artists such as Seinfeld and Braxton marked their first performances on The Show’s stage, over the past 10 years countless international stars have returned multiple times to perform at the venue named Best Casino Showroom/Theater of the Year at the Casino Entertainment Awards at G2E in 2014. The Show’s many award nominations include Pollstar Showroom of the Year in 2011, American Country Music Awards Showroom of the Year in 2011 and 2018, and Casino Theater of the Year at the International Entertainment Buyers Association (IEBA) Industry Awards in 2018.

Dan Pferschy, Director of Entertainment for Agua Caliente Casinos, won the Casino Entertainment Executive of the Year Award at G2E in 2017 and continues to work tirelessly promoting The Show, elevating this premier showroom to the place in Southern California where the best entertainers want to perform and rehearse.

“The success of The Show at Agua Caliente Rancho Mirage is a testament to the efforts of a stellar entertainment team that keeps everything running like clockwork front and back of house. Our purpose-built, state-of-the-art auditorium is second to none in Southern California and a leader in casino entertainment nationwide.” Pferschy says. “When comic geniuses such as Gabriel Iglesias and Sebastian Maniscalco, or music legends such as Willie Nelson and Burt Bacharach, are eager to return to our stage, we know we are doing something very right.”

The lineup through ten years at The Show reads like an entertainment hall of fame. The venue opened with a splash in 2009, with the initial lineup of international music star acts featuring the likes of Matchbox 20, Martina McBride, Tony Bennett, the Moody Blues and Elvis Costello. Other artists and bands who have performed at The Show across all genres include Duran Duran, Doobie Brothers, Goo Goo Dolls, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, Natalie Cole, Van Morrison, Diana Krall, Sheryl Crow, Sting, Steven Tyler, Don Henley and many more. Air Supply announced from the stage at their most recent performance in February 2019 that of the more than 130 venues they appear at each year, The Show at Agua Caliente Rancho Mirage is the one they most enjoy to play in.

Comedians at The Show over the years have included Chelsea Handler, Jay Leno, Steve Martin and Martin Short, Margaret Cho, and Gabriel Iglesias. Iglesias loves the venue so much he will be performing for the 18th and 19th times at The Show this May as part of his all-new 2019 “Beyond the Fluffy” world tour. Magicians and psychics, ballet companies, Mariachi bands and boxing matches have all taken the stage at The Show.

Many of the artists who have enjoyed repeated performances at The Show have offered their congratulations to the venue for its 10th Anniversary in this tribute video.

With a concert lineup and entertainment experience that rivals the best venues in the country, The Show at Agua Caliente Rancho Mirage also offers a complete getaway experience for entertainment fans, being an integral part of a world-class resort. Accommodations include 340 luxury guest rooms ­– among those are 24 executive suites and two presidential suites – which also makes performing at The Show convenient and an enjoyable tour stop for artists. The resort includes the Forbes Four-Star Sunstone Spa, a fitness center, luxury poolside cabanas, award-winning dining, a conference center, and 71,000 square feet of the area’s best gaming with more than 1,600 slots, a variety of table games, high-limit gaming, and the Coachella Valley’s only live poker.
