The Jabbawockeez new show “Timeless” is coming to MGM Grand next month.
Thursday, Feb. 20, 2020 | 2 a.m.
The annual Power of Love Gala traditionally brings in a single superstar to perform at MGM Grand Garden Arena and raise millions for the local Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. This year’s event, the 24th annual installation set for March 7, brings a galaxy of stars.
Paying tribute to the legendary Neil Diamond, who announced his retirement from touring in 2018 after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, the 2020 Power of Love Gala will feature performances from Grammy-winning R&B artist Toni Braxton, platinum-selling country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, producer and performer and Mirage headliner Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, pop singer-songwriter Andy Grammer, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Sammy Hagar and singer-actor Chris Isaak.
In addition to that unbelievable lineup, presenters during the evening will include comedian and TV host Jimmy Kimmel, Emmy winner and upcoming Flamingo headliner Derek Hough and actor Kelsey Grammer, and celebrity chefs Wolfgang Puck and Masaharu Morimoto will collaborate on dinner. Parent organization Keep Memory Alive will also present the 2020 Community Leadership Award to Dr Miriam and Sheldon Adelson. For event and ticket information, visit keepmemoryalive.org.
And big changes are coming to the long-running Jabbawockeez production at MGM Grand. The famous masked dance crew closed its “Jreamz” show on February 17 after 2,000 performances and this week announced new engagement “Timeless” will premiere on March 6 in the refreshed Jabbawockeez Theater.
The new stage production is described as “a sonically hypnotic voyage into the visionary minds of the masked members. Familiar favorites and brand-new routines are supercharged with innovative production elements, breathtaking visuals and a mesmerizing laser effect. The show takes the audience along for a ride as the beloved characters land on earth from outer space in search of the quintessential music playlist that spans generations, locations and genres.” The new show schedule will be 7 p.m. nightly with additional 9:30 p.m. shows Thursday through Saturday.
