Li'l impersonators big in Vegas

Mini_britney Of all the entertainment trends in Vegas right now, the oddest may be the midget impersonator genre.

Jeff Beacher, a.k.a. "The New Mr. Las Vegas," certainly deserves credit for bringing this idea to the Vegas stage with Tiny Kiss at his Hard Rock show, Beacher's Madhouse. Tiny Kiss consisted of three midgets along with Paul Stanley as impersonated by a woman who claimed to weigh close to 300 pounds.

Earlier this year, Beacher offered his Madhouse audience his latest innovation: a midget Britney Spears and midget Kevin Federline, feuding. I saw that one. The audience loved it. I am told his most recent Madhouse had the midget Britney reuniting with a midget Justin Timberlake.
 
Today I received an e-mail about the new show "Little Legends" at a club at Planet Hollywood. The press release promises: "You will see Mini Elvis, Mini Britney, Mini Tina Turner, Mini Milli Vanilli, Mini Sonny and Tall Cher along with two Mini Michael Jacksons."

Anyone who can explain the appeal, please help me.

Jeff Beacher is one hell of a guy. He throws some really great shows and he and his people are fabulous! It's great!

I do love going to the shows here in Vegas. I've seen one of Jeff Beacher's shows and it is GREAT entertainment! That guy knows how to have a really great time.

I think the appeal about the little people is not just their height, but their energy. They know how to please the crowd just as well as anybody.

I enjoy the Mad House experience everytime I go there. I think the energy really drives the crowd wild!

I think that in the entertainment business, you will use whatever you have to entertain people. That is all these guys are doing. They are using their height dis-advantages and advantages to get something out of the people. It's amazing, really :D

Oh man, Beacher is pretty awesome! He's a really nice dude in person!

Jeff is the MAN!

What I liked about Beacher's show is the variety of people and talents. It's really worth your while.

I am a Vegas resident and have never missed a Madhouse performance. Jeff Beacher is amazing!

Beacher knows where it's at!
