The show opened at the Geffen Playhouse in March. Sales have been brisk, and an audio CD featuring the music of Louis & Keely: Live at the Sahara was recently released. Created by Jake Broder and Vanessa Claire Smith, who also star as Louis and Keely, respectively, Louis & Keely: Live at the Sahara follows the life and love of Las Vegas’ infamous onstage couple. Helmed by acclaimed Hollywood director Taylor Hackford, the current production is a revamped version of Broder and Smith's show that was seen in 2008.
The cast also includes Nick Cagle and Erin Matthews, playing various other characters in the couple's story. A seven-piece jazz band is part of the experience, standing in for Prima's Vegas band known as The Witnesses.
It won Best Musical at the Ovation Awards, Best Production at the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Awards, Best Production at the Garland Awards and Musical of the Year at the LA Weekly Theater Awards.
