Wayne Newton returning to Andiamo Celebrity Showroom

When Wayne Newton performs this fall at Andiamo Celebrity Showroom, he’ll feel right at home.

Newton, 82, who is known by the moniker “Mr. Las Vegas,” is scheduled to perform Friday, Oct. 11 at the Showroom in Warren.

Andiamo owner Joe Vicari said he’s excited about having Newton return to the Vegas-styled showroom, where he performed more than two decades ago.

“Wayne Newton has played for us before, but it’s been 22 years,” Vicari said Wednesday. “This is his first time coming back to us and we’re happy to welcome him back.”

The singer is known as a true star, having shared the stage over the decades with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Lucille Ball, George Burns, Jack Benny and Danny Thomas.

He has been entertaining Las Vegas crowds for 65 years and is scheduled to finish a residency at the Flamingo Hotel in June. For a while, he was the highest-paid act in Vegas.

Vicari said it’s important for him, as a promoter, to provide audiences with another look at various superstars of the past.

“You know, last year we had Engelbert Humperdinck and Paul Anka, so we’re trying to bring in some people that may not be around that much longer,” he said.

Known for his 1962 hit single “Danke Schoen,” Newton has performed 50,000 shows for upwards of 40 million people, according to USA Today.
