Shake, rattle, and roll...Just imagine eight absolutely alluring and glamorous professional female dancers as they shake, rattle, and roll with a magnificent soundtrack that will rock anyone's world. While immersed in their performance of some seriously diverse and simply sizzling choreography, these girls deliver a presentation of immeasurable creativity and entertainment.  According to a majority of the audience who were in attendance, "X" is without question a performance that has not only brought the true entertainment of Cabaret back into reality, but has taken the established concept of the Cabaret and built upon it to create a new dimension of quality and enjoyment.

A powerful presentation...

"A powerful presentation" is a humble definition of the overall performance presented by these girls who have truly put the true definition of "ShowGirl" back in it's proper place.  Each skit of the show is delivered with a presence of power, establishing a new atmosphere within and around the audience as well as the stage. It seems to draw the people in the audience into the performance, as though they are part of the show itself.

As you can obviously see from the photo to the left, each individual in the show, strives to push their talents to the very limits.  They work with every part of their being to provide a professional form of entertainment that has been long forgotten by many.  If you carefully look at the majority of shows in Las Vegas today, you will quickly notice how each the actions of the participants is so redundant.  A forced smile, no personal expression, just doing their job.  A perfect example of this is "Le Femme", the show that is running at the MGM Hotel and Casino.  Although the choreography and music are of above average level, the movement of the ShowGirls is simply a repeat of a repeat and boring.

 

A dominant error in other shows...

A dominant error in other shows throughout the globe, not just in Las Vegas is lack of change and expression. Let's get to the cold hard facts. "Jublilee", the pride of Bally's Hotel and Casino is a perfect example of incredible potential lost in redundancy.  The choreography is magnificent, costumes superb, but what kind of value is there in a show that has been functioning for over 20 years with no change?  In interviewing people who have paid to see this show, a consistent opinion has held true with most of those who were queried.  When you have such a massive number of women baring their breasts in a show such as this, the erotic uniqueness which is being attempted to be conveyed as was once a common factor in a Cabaret performance, has somehow been lost.  In reality, you simply see a performance that will never change, always being the same with nothing unique, lacking the diversity to catch the attention of the audience as the "X" Girls manage to accomplish.

Unique, innovative, and from the heart...

While so many other ShowGirls in "other" shows, run through the paces with no real emotion or pride, simply following instructions given, you will note in the photos below, how the ShowGirls in "X", each have their own special uniqueness, yet remain consistent as a whole in their performance.  In interviewing the "X" Girls following the show, it was clearly evident that they take pride in their performance. 

 

Unique, innovative, and from the heart is the primary focus of what these girls seek to convey in their talent.  This is what several of these girls expressed in the interview.  One girl in particular, expressed as several others did as well, how being a ShowGirl in "X" is unlike other shows the girls have performed in across the globe previously.  As she expressed it,  "They were shows where you are instructed to act as one, show no individuality, and keep your opinions to yourself." No room for any originality or style, suppressing the abilities of a ShowGirl to show her full skills. "ShowGirls are not simply dancers, they are dancers and actresses as well combined into one."  "They provide a level of entertainment that a person who is simply a dancer or an actress, simply cannot achieve."

A compilation of talent like no other...

"X" is without question a compilation of talent like no other that not only brings the Cabaret concept back into reality but rather takes it to a completely new level unlike no other.  Evolution of a show is an absolute if you are going to even begin to compete in the world of entertainment.  Constant vigil to create and evolve a show to newer heights is mandatory or your show will simply become as so many others, boring and redundant.  The older shows who are so well established in Las Vegas have their loyal attendees, but this is only because of the lack of innovative new entertainment to be able to enjoy.  The "X" Girls have broken that trend and provided a new and enjoyable show that will take some serious effort to even come close to matching.  It's like comparing a Volkswagen to a Cadillac; you can settle for a show like "La Femme" or "Jubillee" or you can step up and enjoy a truly unique experience you will not be soon to forget, like "X".

The creators of "X"...

Now there are plenty of producers and directors, but none like the producer and director of "X", an Angel-Like Productions presentation.  An innovative and creative pair of people who have been in the entertainment industry and know the ropes all too well.

The gentleman is Bobby Boling, the co-producer, director, and creator of "X". A talented professional in the entertainment industry, it was his dream to take the quality once enjoyed of the Cabaret and bring it to a new dimension in entertainment.  He obviously did just that with the production of "X".

His associate, Angela Sampras, is the co-producer for "X" and is quite skilled in working to bring "X" to the incredible level of success it has reached today.  Angela is a former ShowGirl and knows the ins and outs of being in this line of entertainment.

 

Together, Bobby and Angela have worked to create a most incredible and erotic adventure now recognized as "X".  They work together as a team to bring back the top professional quality which used to be a normal part of entertainment in Las Vegas and bring it back in such a way it will cause people to start using their imaginations once again rather than having everything drawn out before them in a presentation.  With "X", the audience leaves with a hunger for more rather than a simple "good show" and forgot the following week what they even saw in the show.  "X" causes people to remember, use their imaginations once again, recapturing their creativity and sharing their experience of "X" with countless others.  "X" has set the pace for the others to follow.  The question now is just how long before the rest of the show directors and producers catch on and begin to mimic the magnificent talent delivered by the "X" Girls, Bobby and Angela.  The course is inevitable and those who read this review and/or see the show will have the comfort of knowing they were the first to witness this new evolution of entertainment.
