MGM Grand continues to set new standards for on-stage entertainment in its 1,700-seat "EFX" Theatre. Rick Springfield will bring his Grammy and American Music Award-winning career to a new level as he takes the stage in 2001 as the headliner of the acclaimed stage production, "EFX Alive," on January 30.
Springfield's new role in "EFX Alive" was created to showcase the diverse talents of this multi-platinum recording artist. Springfield and the creators of the show infuse added elements of rock 'n' roll to the 2001 edition to capitalize on the success of his 30-year career in the music and concert industry.
Rick Springfield has sold more than 18 million records in a 13-album career and enjoyed 17 singles breaking into the Top 20 including such hits as "Jessie's Girl," "Don't Talk to Strangers" and "Affair of the Heart."
"EFX Alive" will appear twice nightly Tuesday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., and once at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday.
The "EFX" show opened in March 1995 with "Phantom of the Opera" legend Michael Crawford. David Cassidy took the reigns as the star November 1996 through December 1998. The nine-time Tony Award winner and the "first gentleman of Broadway," Tommy Tune then brought his myriad of strengths as an entertainer to the show in January 1999 to December 2000.
During select holiday weekends and "EFX" dark weeks, the EFX Theatre hosts some of country's hottest stars. Previous performers include Jay Leno, George Carlin, Rosie O'Donnell, Don Rickles, Liza Minnelli, Stevie Wonder, Taylor Dayne, Stomp, Sinbad, Cats, Randy Travis and Paul Rodriguez.
