Help Bring Shangri-La-La to New York - Shangri-La-La is a fast, funny comedy musical about two immigrants who reinvented themselves, transformed Las Vegas, and built a rhinestone empire of magic, ambition, and white tigers.

Inspired by true events, the show explores the making of Siegfried & Roy’s legendary public image—and the machinery of spectacle, power, loyalty, and illusion behind the spotlight. The full-length version also draws in part on a real-life lawsuit, using courtroom satire to examine what happens when private conflict collides with celebrity mythology.

Following an April 2026 New York presentation through Back Door to Broadway, the musical is now moving toward its next New York appearances:

Rogue Theater Festival, Digital Edition — July 2026

Midtown International Theatre Festival — July 25 and 26, 2026

These performances are an important opportunity to introduce Shangri-La-La to New York theatergoers, producers, industry professionals, and supporters who can help the show move toward a longer run.

But producing independent theater in New York is expensive.
