Shangri-La-La, a comedy musical about Siegfried & Roy, at the Midtown International Theater Festival

Shangri-La-La: A Comedy Musical About Siegfried & Roy

What happens when two ambitious young immigrants come to America, reinvent themselves in Las Vegas, charm the world, build a rhinestone kingdom at The Mirage, and then discover that even white tigers have limits?

Shangri-La-La is a fast-moving new comedy musical inspired by the rise of Siegfried & Roy — with original songs, Vegas glamour, impossible dreams, outrageous costumes, magic, friendship, immigrant reinvention, Steve Wynn, Bugsy Siegel, and just enough tiger danger to keep everyone alert.

Written by Mike Meier & Peter Giambalvo, the show is part showbiz fairy tale, part immigrant dream, part Vegas fever dream — and, yes, inspired by actual events. Unfortunately.

The New York performances are part of the Midtown International Theater Festival and will take place at the American Theatre of Actors in Midtown Manhattan.

Come for the music. Stay for the magic. Leave with a renewed respect for tigers.

Performances: July 25 and July 26, 2026
Venue: American Theatre of Actors, New York City
Tickets: Available through the Midtown International Theater Festival (MITF)/Eventbrite /TheaterMania
