Fountain Hills Theater award-winning Actor Alex Gonzalez brings his celebration of classic Las Vegas back to the Fountain Hills Theater stage for a one-night-only event.
In support of Fountain Hills Theater, Gonzalez and his special guests will bring to life the days of highballs and high rollers, Elvis and Frank and everything that made Vegas Vegas, an FHT press release said.
The production will include classic hits like, “Can’t Help Falling in Love;” “Now and Forever;” and Elvis’ “Viva Las Vegas.”
In addition, those in attendance will hear the first official announcement of Fountain Hills Theater’s 2024-25 season of shows.
Gonzalez has most recently been seen onstage at Fountain Hills Theater in “Ghost the Musical,” “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story,” “Lend Me A Tenor” and “Grand Hotel.”
Long-time FHT patrons will remember him from “South Pacific,” “Fiddler on the Roof,” “The Full Monty” and “Oklahoma.”
“I have been performing in the Valley for over 40 years with many local theater companies, but Fountain Hills Theater has been not just another theater company where I’ve performed,” Gonzalez said. “It has been more like a home to me, having been in over 50 productions, starting with ‘The Music Man’ in 1991.”
Fountain Hills Theater Artistic/Technical Director Peter J. Hill adds, “We are so excited to have Alex bring his show to our stage once again. Alex has been practically a fixture in our shows for almost four decades, and to play host to his cabaret show once again is a privilege for FHT and an absolute delight for our audience.”
“Remembering Vegas” plays Saturday, March 16, with a reception beginning at 5 p.m., and the performance beginning at 6 p.m. at the Fountain Hills Theater on its Mainstage at 11445 N. Saguaro Blvd.
Individual tickets are $50 and are available through the Theater Box Office at 480-837-9661 x3 or by visiting fhtaz.org.
Box Office Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
