This post is continued from the Greg Frewin Las Vegas Magic Review Show – The Show post. The show lasted about 1 hour and 20 minutes. At the end of the show he plugged the retail counter, as well as the souvenir pictures with a tiger. After every show Greg comes out and answers questions….
This post is continued from the Greg Frewin Las Vegas Magic Review Show – The Theatre post. The show itself was fantastic. The night I went happened to be their slowest night in weeks, but the crowd was still very vocal. I’m sure when the theatre is packed everything seems that much better. He did…
