That’s entertainment!

They’re some of our best-loved entertainers from the past 50 years, and now they’re heading to the entertainment capital of the world to stage a variety spectacular. But will two weeks be enough to hone their acts for an American audience?

‘I went about 30 years ago and I really liked it. I wasn’t interested in the gambling, but I thought I just love the idea of all the tall buildings and the bright lights,’ says Su Pollard, one of the series’ star turns.

‘Of course, you think you’ll never go back. When they said this is culminating in a fabulous show, I replied, “Right. That’s it. I shall sign now.”’
