Location: Rio All Suites Hotel
The Platters, The Cornell Gunter Coasters & The Marvelettes, 3 legendary groups who are responsible for the longest running musical show in Las Vegas, will be transporting their timeless performances to the stage of The Crown Theater at the Rio Hotel & Casino starting November 1st.
Known for their electrifying renditions of such rock and roll classics as My Prayer, Please Mr. Postman, Charlie Brown, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, Yakety Yak and 29 other million selling songs, these 3 pioneering groups encompass the entire spectrum of classic rock and roll. The Platters are the consummate purveyors of the power-ballad-love song with enchanting harmonies. The Cornell Gunter Coasters represent raucous, comedy oriented song stylings with smooth, synchronized choreography while The Marvelettes are known for their Motown sound, while encompassing stirring anthems craftily interwoven with high intensity, upbeat rhythms.
This trilogy of historic rock and roll artists continue to capture the essence of the golden years of rock music as they have for the last 14 years of sold out shows in Las Vegas.

What a fantastic show and a piece of history. I was amazed at all the talent on stage. Although the music is just a bit before my time, it`s really amazing to hear the roots of Rock `n` Roll as well as how many songs I actually have heard before and remember. If you like rock `n` roll, this is a show that can`t be missed.
The show starts out with all the singers and the Marvelette singers rising from the elevator platform in the middle of this round theater, which makes for quite a dramatic entrance.
Once the introductions are made the boys come out and sing songs like Yakity-Yak and Poison Ivy. It`s amazing how great they sound after doing these songs for decades. Lewis Lyman, who has been a part of these bands for decades, is the clown of the group as he always has some wise crack. My favorite line is when he says `I`m glad to be anywhere but jail.`
It`s not all singing though. They have a couple skits where they do some clowning around and if your name is `Charlie` then get prepared to be dragged up to the stage for a rendition of `Charlie Brown`.
The band was fantastic and I don`t recall hearing a single mistake the whole night. For the most part they stay in the back but the guitar player gets his moment to step out front and show off some really tasty guitar riffs.
After the show you can have your chance to meet the singers as you exit the theater. They are very friendly and you can tell they really love doing what they are doing.
It`s a wonderful show not just for those that were growing up when these bands were in their prime but also for those that really want to see the roots of `Rock `n` Roll`.
