Together In Vegas

Product Information

Speaking of the new album, Michael says: "Working on this album with Alfie has been a blast and I can't wait for you all to hear it. I honestly think it's the best one yet! Recording classics from legendary artists such as Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin & Frankie Valli, who are not only huge inspirations to us, but true Las Vegas icons, is an absolute dream. As we all know, Las Vegas really is the entertainment capital of the world and, hopefully, we can bring a little bit of that magic to you through this album."

The death knell has been sounded for live performances and theatre since I’ve been in the business. The thing about the talent that works in the theatre is that it’s creative, adaptable, determined, and we always find a way to survive. Through history, when things are tough, you need an outlet. Inspired by Alfie's momentous two-day concert event at the legendary International Theatre at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino this summer, the decision to record such iconic repertoire was an easy one for both singers.

They are 'Together In Vegas'. Armed with all the charisma and panache needed for such an excursion, together with suitably dazzling vocal skills, the couple present the most exciting music they have ever recorded together. There will also be a chance a chance to spin the wheel on the giant video jukebox to win prizes and special merchandise, plus there will even be a specially curated Together in Vegasmenu.

Michael says: "We’re on an even par, both rubbish, wouldn’t you say?" before Alfie cuts in: "I’m far better than you." With Alfie Boe adding: “ Playing Vegas has always been a dream of mine and finally it’s becoming a place I’m performing and spending more time in. Making the latest Ball and Boe record Vegas-themed was exciting to us for many reasons. There is an energy in Vegas that lights up in a way nowhere else does, and it felt like the perfect moment in time to bring that energy into our new album. It’s a chance to let go and have some fun, especially after a pandemic, and it’s important for our incredible fans to feel that excitement with us. Everyone is in need of a bit of Vegas in their lives right now!” It's Alfie whos says: "I’d do Strictly. I’d love to do it. Give it a shot. I’ll borrow the sequins off Michael."

Michael Ball and Alfie Boe have both received countless prestigious awards, record-breaking sales, and chart successes. A particular highlight occurred in 2020 when Michael released the fastest-selling single of the year with his No.1 duet with the late Captain Tom Moore. Over Michael's extraordinary 30-year career, his outstanding performances have also made smash-hit box office history. He is a double Olivier Award winner, multi-platinum and chart-topping recording artist, top selling live concert performer, a hugely popular radio and TV presenter and now author. Later this year Michael releases his debut novel, 'The Empire', the first in a series set in the world of theatre.

MB: It’s just drudgery otherwise. We do it better than anyone in the world. It’s a vital part of our identity. It’s just positive, and we need positives, especially at the moment. But I know it’s hard. If you’ve got a choice between paying your heating bill and going to see a pantomime, you know what you’re going to do. That just shouldn’t be a choice you have to make. It is exceptional (these days) to be a part of an album like Together in Vegas because the record presents live musicians playing at their best. Their double act has enraptured crowds with warm, low-key charisma and deft stagecraft” Independent

AB: The pandemic was a prime example. We all got very creative. Lots of online performances and things like that. But we have a duty as entertainers to entertain. And despite what’s thrown at you, we will take the performance to people and give them some joy in any way we can.

Of the duo, Decca Records Co-Presidents Laura Monks and Tom Lewis say: "Michael & Alfie never fail to deliver smiles, laughs and even tears with their big hearts and even bigger voices. This album is filled with joy and a sense of escape from the mundane. It truly is their BEST one yet!!"
