This was my favorite of all the shows I saw in Vegas.
Rich Little still keeps the audience laughing non-stop as he moves seamlessly from one character to the next. His attention to detail, his excellent memory, his energy, and his on-target impersonations are outstanding. Even before he opens his mouth to do a characterization, the audience knows what's coming and begins to laugh.
Rich's Jimmy Stewart is perfection, as are the endless other characters. The story line of Jimmy's life helps weave the many elements together in a believable fashion. The theater is intimate, and audience members feel as if Rich is speaking directly to each of them. The production is somewhat reminiscent of Hal Holbrook's Mark Twain Tonight in style.

If you are a fan and at least a certain age
Growing up, I though Rich Little was great, but this show could be a repeat from 30 years ago. Entertaining, but many of the stars he portrays would be unknown to anyone under 30 or not a movie buff. On a side note, the chairs were horrible-just about the worse I have ever sat on.

Outdated
This is a nostalgia act at best. No one younger than about 60 is even going to know who most of the folks imitated are, unless they're vintage TV and film fans. And LIttle's impressions of some folks used to be much better -- his Nixon was awful, and I remember it as one of his best.

Rich Little still has it!!
We were pleasantly surprised to find Rich performing his one man show during our visit. The theater had a cozy, personal feel to it and the show was fantastic.

A MUST SEE IF YOU ARE OVER 50 YRS. OLD!!
Rich was superb from start to finish! All of his impersonations were impeccable. We identified with every single person he did and are still mocking him today. Totally wonderful show. Take it to Broadway Rich and you will sell out! You received several standing ovations without having to request them. Cannot wait to see you again!

Performance was better than expected.
I knew Rich Little would be entertaining, but I didn't expect him to be as good as he actually is. This man was portraying James Stewart, took two steps and became Humphrey Bogart.You could tell who he was before he opened his mouth. There is also some drama (as James Stewart) that brought my wife to tears. I think there are @ 40 or so impersonations performed and all are excellent. Additionally, Mr. Little is gracious enough to hang around a few minutes after the show to visit with the audience and shake hands. This was money well spent. Don't pay extra for the VIP tickets. The theater is small enough for great views from anywhere, and the box office requires you to show up early to get the VIP seating. I'm 51 years old. Younger generations may not realize/remember some of the people portrayed by Mr. Little.

Good Show, but...
We enjoyed Rich Little's show; however, we did not appreciate his sharing of his political views with us during the show. We are Obama fans. We are also gay; and we were glad that he did not say anything bad about gays. We will probably not see him in the future until we know that he will be apolitical.He is still talented, but he needs to realize that he has a mixed viewer crowd.Jimmy Stewart did afterall, play in the western "Ben Of The River" in 1952, Winchester 73, with Rock Hudson, who was gay, and unfortunately died of AIDS. He even went on a movie promotion tour with Hudson to Portland, Oregon for the movie, and had to know that Hudson was gay, but never said a word about it.
That is what bothers us about celebraties showing their political views at performances.
Stewart never said anything political on the variety show circuit.
Rich Little should follow in his path if he is performing a tribute to Stewart.
We came to see an entertainer and not a political activist.
