<\/p>\nBaz Luhrmann\u2019s New Vegas Show \u2018BAZ \u2013 Star Crossed Love\u2019 is the Ultimate Date Night<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If the proliferation of Gatsby-themed weddings and \u201cLady Marmalade\u201d karaoke massacres are any indication, there\u2019s a part of all of us that wishes we could live<\/a> inside a Baz Luhrmann film. Vegas visitors have the chance to step inside the glitzy, glamorous world of the visionary writer-director in BAZ \u2013 Star-Crossed Love<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n The innovative stage show weaves a narrative around some of Luhrmann\u2019s most beloved works \u2014 Romeo + Juliet<\/em>, Moulin Rouge<\/em> and The Great Gatsby<\/em>. True to its title, Star-Crossed Love<\/em> champions the romance and razzamatazz that\u2019s made Luhrmann an icon.<\/p>\n Not only do\u00a0audiences witness the grand spectacle, they\u2019re encouraged to participate as well. The immersive staging invites audience members to sing and dance along Tuesday through Sunday at the Palazzo Theatre.<\/p>\n Reacquaint yourself with some of Luhrmann\u2019s greatest hits in the clips below and see why a trip to\u00a0Baz \u2013 Star-Crossed Love<\/em> is the ultimate date night.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The quintessential tale of star-crossed love was also the basis of Luhrmann\u2019s second\u00a0film in his Red Curtain Trilogy, Romeo + Juliet<\/em>. Starring a young Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, it\u2019s a punky modernization of the Shakespeare classic. Of the two early DiCaprio dreamboat films, this one will leave you and your date with much less of a sinking feeling.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Back before Girl Talk and Glee<\/em> were serving up surprising musical mash-ups, Moulin Rouge!<\/em> created a rousing medley of contemporary hits served with the razzle-dazzle\u00a0of a late-1890s cabaret. The film famously utilized Nirvana\u2019s \u201cSmells Like Teen Spirit,\u201d a track that rarely appears in film, but it\u2019s said Courtney Love herself helped ease the licensing when she was originally up for Nicole Kidman\u2019s part.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The biggest hit off the Moulin Rouge!<\/em> soundtrack was a cover of Labelle\u2019s \u201cLady Marmalade.\u201d The modern \u201cMarmalade,\u201d performed by Mya, P!nk, Lil\u2019 Kim, Missy Elliott and Christina Aguilera, even topped the Billboard Hot 100. After the show, you and your bae can spend the rest of the evening guessing which \u201cMarmalade\u201d lady<\/a> you identify with the most, or maybe just entertain each other with an Aguilera vocal riff competition.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Sorry for the F. Scott Fitzgerald spoiler, but there\u2019s a delicious irony in the original tune \u201cA Little Party Never Killed Nobody\u201d in the 2013 film version The Great Gatsby<\/em>. The flashy flick injected Luhrmann\u2019s signature style into the literary classic, creating a spectacle that spawned several Real Housewives<\/em> theme parties. You and your man<\/a> can drink in the old school glamour (without all the, you know, murder) by donning some three-piece suits and raising a martini (or two or ten).<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The Gatsby<\/em> soundtrack was executive produced by Jay-Z, and since everything is always better with Beyonc\u00e9, you can get in the spirit with this jazzy take on her hit \u201cCrazy In Love.\u201d It\u2019s performed by Emeli Sand\u00e9 on the soundtrack, but if you need to hear Queen Bey\u2019s voice, check out her version of Amy Winehouse\u2019s \u201cBack to Black\u201d to get your toes tapping.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Get your tickets for BAZ \u2013 Star-Crossed Love<\/em><\/a> at the Palazzo Theatre today. (Finding your date is all on you, though.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The post Baz Luhrmann\u2019s New Vegas Show \u2018BAZ \u2013 Star Crossed Love\u2019 is the Ultimate Date Night<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"10589VEN_BAZ_300x250_v3\"](\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.towleroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/10589VEN_BAZ_300x250_v3.jpg?resize=300%2C250\")
