Shania: Still the One

This show was unbelievable. I cried like 6 times. I saw it on October 26, 2013 from the very last row haha.
The projections onto the curtain were so cool before the show. I was impressed with all of the sets and themes, and I thought Shania’s interaction with the crowd was better than maybe any other artist I’ve seen (over 100 shows). I’m sure it’s easier inside the Colosseum to get up close to fans and run around and feel at home at a place you play at every single night, as opposed to a large arena.
I feel like I went on a very special night, the people she pulled out of the crowd really touched her heart and it was sweet to see. I was also pretty pleased with the gift shop, as always. I’ve only ever seen Cher at the Colosseum and she definitely had more stage time than Cher.
Does she bring her sister on stage every night? I really liked that part of the show & where she talked about her mother pushing her to pursue singing. (one of the many times I cried :’)) Even from the back, I had a ball (no pun intended). I was sad to see it closing, because I was recommending it to everyone. The only show that is still on the strip that I’ve seen is Pinup. Some of my favorite shows have closed. :(

Man… I feel like a… MAN!
Shania Twain is ending her residency at the Caesar’s Palace Colosseum with the wrap of 2014, and was I so happy our state had super discounted government employee tickets to this show! Amazing!
I’ve like Shania Twain since my college years, was a newbie to that which is ‘country’ music. Back in the late 90’s (now I sound old) I was a freshman to UNLV and was introduced to that steel guitar twang. Garth Brooks? Who? Toby Keith? Huh? Diamond Rio? Eh? Reba? What? Shania Twain? Yes please!
Was so excited to finally catch one of her last few months of performances on the Las Vegas stage. What an honor! Shania wasn’t one of the world’s best selling artists of ALL TIME for nothing! The lady can sing! She can perform! She can wear tiny little tight-​fitting leopard pants with a fur coat! Not bad for a Canadian, eh? LOL
Shania’s ‘The Woman In Me’ is one of my favorite albums EVER. Yes. Me. EVER. I’ve listened to that album so many times I’ve got most of the songs on it memorized. Yea I listen to rap, hip-​hop, R&B, Pop, even contemporary Hawaiian music but that country album of hers is just special. It’s awesome. Inspiring. Crazy. How can you not hum the chorus to «Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?» Or meander along with #1 hits «(If You’re Not in it for Love) I’m Outta Here», «No One Needs to Know» or, «You Win My Love»? What about international hits from Shania’s pop breakthrough ‘Come on Over’? Don’t tell me you can’t sing along with mega hits «That Don’t Impress Me Much», and of course «Man! I Feel Like a Woman!». And you know you love sappy ballads «You’re Still the One», and «From This Moment On». Well, at least I do.
Shania: Still the One has all of these songs is live format! So much time and work all into one 2 hour jolly good show! Shania aims to please with this concert run of hers, and she is no slouch. She’s engaging, highly entertaining, and very friendly! She ran into the crowd at least 3 times during her set, and gladly shook hands with folks, gave hugs, and even selfies! All while singing LIVE at the same time! Takes some talent and a big set of lungs to be able to do all that each show. She is definitely a giver, and very gracious to her fans. It is a BIG show, lots of lights, lots of airplay, lots of dancers, lots of large set pieces. I liked how themes were brought in for many of Shania’s songs, totally set the mood and the pacing for the concert. The saloon type buildings brought out for «I Ain’t No Quitter», and the desert background for «That Don’t Impress Me Much» were some of my faves. Gotta say, for being near 50 years old, that body of hers is still rockin’! Shania’s a hard worker and it shows.
Our seats were right smack near the middle, wish we were closer but luckily wifey and I had no problem seeing the stage from where we were located. Wifey is more of a down-​low fan of Shania, but me? I’m out of that closet, baby! One of the very rare times I may sing along and jump up and down with giddy glee at a concert (mind you, I am 250 pounds of pure dude). I really, really had a great time at Shania.
Don’t be stupid… go see Shania before she’s no longer in Las Vegas! It impressed me much!

She did a great show! I am not into country music but I like most of her songs. She was entertaining. I like how she brought her sister, introduced her husband and some Cowboys into the mix. There was a horse as well. She was a genuine person. She came into the audience and high 5, shook hands with the audience. I saw her twice. The theater is beautiful.

I wasn’t familiar with any of Shania Twain’s new songs but I still wanted to go because I enjoyed some of her songs in the past like: Still the one, and That Doesn’t Impress Me Much. Lucky for me she sang those during her concert … I was excited !
I like that she interacted with the audience during the show by picking people out of the audience to go on stage she would also walk out into the crowd. It’s always a treat when performers aren’t afraid to intermingle with their fans. The props for her show were also very cool they ranged from flying motorcycles to horses. There was always something on stage that kept your mind from wandering.
It is sad that her run at Caesars is coming to an end. I’m glad I had the chance to see the show before it closes. It is a show worth seeing. catch it while it is still here!

My parents had the delightful opportunity to watch Shania Twain’s ‘Still the One’ show at Caesar’s Palace last January to celebrate my mom’s Nth birthday. I just got off school that night and therefore turned up a bit late and missing the first song. The ushers said we didn’t miss much and guided us inside the Colosseum where guitar riffs seeped through the doors.
We have been Shania fans since the 90s and didn’t really marvel as much at any other female country artists after she got quiet in the early 2000s. When we heard about her Vegas residency announcement, it was only a matter of time when we planned a date night together.
The Colosseum had a lavish intimate setting with a huge screen and lights that draped the stage, making the songs and settings spring to life. Shania still looks like a Goddess even after all these years and what she went through. I couldn’t say how much of a dear she was, hopping over to the audience to give us hugs and handshakes all while she was on the mic!
Transitions were smooth, very theatre-​esque and props were simple. My favorite part was the campfire scene when a real bonfire lit up in the middle of the stage. You could smell the burning wood from everywhere! Also, the moment Shania brought in her two horses made everyone’s hearts leap. Country rock at its best, I tell ya & add an elegant touch to that too.
I’ll try to refrain from spoiling too many details here and let you guys save the thrill for yourselves! Shania will not be staying long though so book your tickets before she ends her residency this December.

Unilocal 365 CHALLENGE 2014−(185÷365) «Shania…Nuff’ Said»
What a great show! A lot of these reviews begin with «I’m not into country music, but…» Well, Shania Twain was responsible for me taking a liking to country music and was the trailblazer for your Taylor Swifts, Carrie Underwoods, and other female country artists who followed thereafter.
Before that, I considered Country headache music when you had artists like Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Oak Ridge Boys, Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, etc. and that familiar twang of the steel guitar which interestingly enough was Hawaii’s contribution to the country music scene, Shania was an enjoyable show with an over the top entrance, (c’mon, its Vegas!) neat costume changes and stage props and her string of hits throughout her career. I will agree with some that I could’ve done without the selfies section in the audience, especially if you paid to see her perform, not take selfies with crazed fans.
When Shania performed two of her most recognizable hits, I got goosebumps, or «chicken skin» as we would say in Hawaii, and Wifey was moved to tears. Shania came out in a Wedding Dress (No longer on a horse) «Still The One» brought us back to our dating years, and «From This Moment» brought us back to our engagement years which was one of the highlights of her show for us. Check it out if you like her music! ALOHA!!!

She was great last night – beautiful with great energy. The show was another matter. Her going in the audience to take selfies and pulling people up on stage to sing by the fake campfire was awful! Btw, what was the horse in fire video all about? We were ready to leave a few times but were glad we stayed. The last three songs were well done! Someone please help her with the staging.
Elton, Cher, Selene, please have your people help her! This hot mess reflects on your shows as well!

Have had a number of people ask me where the best place to sit is in order to have the chance to take a pic with Shania. Ive uploaded a seating chart with pink lines to show where she goes and the green areas are the best place to sit. She is singing when she does this and you need to have your phone or camera ready because A LOT of people will want their picture with her, who wouldnt!

Definitely a good show! We had an awesome time and I’m not even into country music. I only know maybe three of the songs she performed but she is such an amazing entertainer that you’ll enjoy every bit of it.
There was a part in the show where she goes out into the audience to take photos and selfies, and I think this was a great time to go use the restroom. We were seated in the rear orchestra and we were hoping she would come over to our section but she didn’t so we took that opportunity to use the restrooms. She was still singing as she was taking photos, but you can’t really see her with everybody standing trying to get her attention.
The show started about 10 mins late, but that was a good thing because we were still waiting in line to buys drinks at 7:30, and it ended at around 9:20.

Unilocal 365 Review Challenge 2014 — Los Angeles #44 — #365
I couldn’t believe I just watched Shania Twain live in concert, just never thought it would happen, especially after her long retirement. My mom recently received two free Shania tickets and we couldn’t just pass it up, so we booked it right away!
Growing up, I’d listen to Shania’s songs but wasn’t really a huge country music fan and over the years she’d release more songs and it got me closer to her music. After watching her show, she is very humble and cares a lot about her fans, shaking their hands and taking selfies with their cell phones. Keep in mind, the ushers remind you not to take pictures from your cell phones with the exception when Shania is walking around the audience.
The show started 15 minutes late and the opening featured a forest that reminded her about her roots, growing up from Ontario, Canada. She’d talk about how she get her music career started at the age of 8, singing in bars and strip clubs and her parents couldn’t afford to send her to a professional singing school. So, that’s where she got her practice, also from her mentors music such as Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, and others that inspired her to get her start into the country music scene.
During the various sets, each song is used to resemble the setting of the stage. Like the cowboy scene, horse scene, and going back again to the woods part. What I liked was when she picked random to go up to the stage and she would sing, «Come on Over» and another song. She asked one of the audience members, «What is you favorite Shania Twain song?» and they replied back, «Come on Over.» Based on the previous reviews, it sounds like it was rehearsed and the song Come on Over was already chosen prior. The scene in my opinion was a little corny but it brought out the humble side of her and not as a diva.
Her performance was overall, «OUTSTANDING!» Even though I’m not a huge country fan, I still appreciate an artist who has a deep connection with her fans.

The star rating isn’t accurate, since I couldn’t see the show. Showed up in Vegas and went to the box office 30 min beforehand and found out it was cancelled. Darn! Got home that weekend from Vegas and they had left a vm on my home phone. I have no idea what time they called on Saturday/​the day of the show, but I am assuming they called my home phone because that is what is linked to my payment method. Automatic refund since there is no rescheduling of the show. We went to see O instead.

I scored last minute comp tix from another Unilocaler, so I walked in with little to no expectations. Not at all a country fan, but I have to admit that Shania puts on a great show. If you’re a fan, you HAVE to see this show, and it’s definitely worth paying a little extra for orchestra seats along the aisle. She wanders around the orchestra section during a couple songs hugging fans, and even posing for selfies with them — it’s an awesome opportunity to meet her for a sec and you can tell that she truly loves her fans.
The first hour or so was pretty country — I’d never heard of any of the songs, and the backgrounds were extremely lame and looked cheap for a production in a huge venue like the colosseum. I couldn’t help but be reminded of cheesy 80’s videos like the Cars You Might Think for some reason. And I swear I had nightmares about the scary nodding leopards during (I think) That Don’t Impress Me.
But I really loved the show from the campfire scene till the end. From that point, it was less country and more her mainstream hits. Amazing lighting, beautiful and classy — it was more of what I expected for a show at the Colosseum. I’m glad it ended on a great note.
We were in the front of the top mezz, and the view was ok although she was pretty tiny from way up there. I’d suggest at least getting seats from the first mezz so it’s more of a straight view vs looking down. But like I said, the orchestra seats are worth it if you’re a true fan, and I think they’re only $ 150 vs $ 100 for mezz.

First off I’m not a big fan as I got these tickets free. I didn’t recognize any songs until the final four. But unless you are under the age of 20 or lived under a rock then you would recognize her top hits.
Having said that, Shania puts on a good show. I liked all the string instrumentals and she is very generous with her fans. For 3 – 4 songs she paraded around taking pictures and touching all her fans.
There are horses in the show… nuff said.

I didn’t know what to expect of the show before hand because I don’t know Shania Twain’s music. I am not a fan of country but I had been told that the show was a wonderful production even if the music wasn’t especially my type.
I sat in the first row of the rear orchestra near the sound booth, so I had a great seat. The show started 8 minutes late – about standard for non-​Cirque du Soleil shows so that was nothing to be upset about. The first few numbers lulled me into thinking it was going to be a good show. The Colosseum’s LED screen was used well. The songs also tended to sound more rock than country. This was part I of the show.
Part II is where the show started going downhill for me. Twain is very good getting out among the audience, pressing the flesh, getting hugs, and participating in selfies. Yes, Virginia, they do allow cameras if she’s there and you pull yours out for a shot with her. She waded into the audience twice, and I suppose if you’re a fan, this would be the sine qua non for the super Twainer. In between the two forays into the audience, she did a campfire number on the stage with audience members – some pre-​selected – but all from the special Twain lovers seating area in the first few rows. She talked briefly with each of the audience members and then had them sit behind this faux campfire which had been burning during her talk with the folks on stage. She sang two songs and asked the audience to join in with the second song. This whole campfire bit was a big fail for me.
We then moved to the last part. As she was changing, a forest appeared on the LED screen with a black horse. A fire was burning in the forest and it seemed like the horse would be trapped, but he managed to make it out. The fire is now out and it begins to snow and the horse changes from black to white. Then Miss Twain rides out on a white horse. It looked like the horse was standing on a padded area and had padded hoof coverings and she removed his sparkly lead. She then sang her iconic, «You’re Still the One.» Score for me – I know this song. However, the horse loves this song too, and he soon showed very visibly how much he cared for Miss Twain. The people in my area were snickering through much of the song and continued as she led the horse off stage at the end of the song.
The band came out and it almost sounded like they were going to end the show with a rousing rock number. Nope! She came back out and the show ended with two country numbers.
A couple of things that struck me about the show. I love animals and while hiking today, I saw four wild horses in Red Rock Canyon. The last thing an animal lover would think of would be having a horse in a fire. I thought it was an awful premise and I wondered who thought it up. I also wondered if Elton John left a Candle in the Wind on the stage and it set Miss Twain’s forest on fire. Second, one confetti drop is enough. This show has three although one is supposed to be part of the snowstorm that changes the black horse white. Third, the folksy bit wore thin quickly with me. She may be a very folksy person but it seemed contrived. Last, her voice is good, but not that good. There were quite a few seats in the first and second mezzanines empty last night. Is the market voting on her show? This wouldn’t be a show I’d see again unlike the other performers at the Colosseum.

I had been dying to see this show for such a long time! She is one of my favorite country artists. First off, I have to say she is the most beautiful person I have ever seen live. You cannot take your eyes off of her. I was a little worried that she would not be singing live, but she was in fact singing. One of the few artists that can do that anymore without autotune, unlike another recent Las Vegas resident.
I loved her interaction with the crowd. Many people got selfies with her. I was so jealous, I wanted one! It seemed like she worked very had to make this show different from all the others out there. At one point there was a campfire smell pumped in when they were doing that set. «You’re still the one» & «From this moment on» were so beautiful, I think the man next to me shed a tear. So glad I got to see her at least once!

I have now seen Shania twice and I have to say, I wasn’t really a fan of her music before I saw her show, but I am now.
Her live show showcases a little bit of everything from her portfolio. A majority of the songs she performs in the show are themed to match the music video for that particular song. There are also quite a few times where she interacts with the audience and actually goes into the audience to interact and shake hands with her fans. She really has that star quality and you can see why her fans are so loyal and drawn to her.
The show is broken up into themes. Starting with of her hits, then transitions into more of her country music, a little a Capella which is beautiful and then ends with some more of her well-​known hits.
A great all-​around show and I highly recommend it to anyone even if country isn’t normally your thing.

Shania delivered one of the best concerts that I’ve been to anywhere. It helped to have the intimate setting of Caesars Colosseum and to have great seats near the stage. Shania really made the experience personal and memorable by coming down off the stage several times and shaking hands, taking pictures, and interacting with the crowd. She sang really well and of course her songs are fun. She also looked terrific and happy.

Awww, Shania! With your very public life struggles, beautiful voice and gorgeous music videos, I’ve always had a soft spot for you.
I was very excited to receive complimentary tickets to Shania’s show. I had never been in the Colosseum for one, and well, it’s Shania! If you love Country-​Pop, you know what this means.
Drink prices were ‘meh’ but they were on par with other notoriously famous and successful venues.
We were seated and to my delight, we had 4^th row orchestra seats! Shimmery flowy gold curtains adorned the stage. I didn’t realize how BIG the stage was, until the curtains were pulled back.
Shania opens up with an upbeat number. Her costumes show off her still bangin’ body (I hope I look that hot when I’m 47!).
While her voice admittedly, isn’t what it used to be (she did suffer vocal cord trauma), she still delivers a solid performance of both singing, dancing, and a yahoo good time.
Scene changes are smooth, her musical performers (dancers and musicians) are ALL good looking. They seem like they’re having a lot of fun on stage as well.
One thing about her show that stood out for me-I’ve never had a smell-​o-​vision experience like this. She wants to stimulate all of your senses, it seems. Depending on the scene, there are aromas to go along with it. Musky campfire, sexy perfume aroma, one time I swore I was standing in a lush forest.
Cool show, for sure.

Yesterday, I shared 2 hours of my life with Shania Twain. I saw her «Still The One» show at Caesar’s Palace.
We ended up with the $ 86 seats up on the third level. It is the Coliseum’s version of nose bleed seats.
The ushers were friendly. They let us know that they will not let you back in to the end of the song if you have to leave your seat. Of course photography is a major no no.
Seating: 3 &½ stars
After we were seated I saw that every seat was stadium seating. Nose bleed wasn’t going to be terrible after all. When we waited for the show, the curtin had a woods motif. Their was piped in bird chirping.
The bar: 2 stars
Every level of the coliseum features a bar. I passed over paying $ 8.50 for a platinum Miller. I’m spending 2 hours with Shania Twain. I did not need a beer.
THE SHOW: 7:30 to 9:30 PM
The rest of the review is a detailed experience of Shania: Still the One. I rate each set and discuss the scenery and songs.
Introduction: 4 stars
At 7:30, the show started. The curtain opens to a white screen and smoke. There is a video of Shania riding on a horse. Then she is on a motorcycle. To a loud applause the real Shania Twain rides onto the stage on a motorcycle.
Leading set: 4 stars
On a set that looks like space Shania leads off with «I’m Gonna Getcha.» Then Shania goes into «You Win My Love Dancing» and «Your So Complicated.» Her band features talented violinists.
Shania then welcomed us to the show. She is optimistic about the future of her career. After years away from the spotlight Shania is shouting out that this is part of something big.
Shania jumps into «No Way Up From Here.» In most of this song the violinists are replaced by dancers.
There is a video of a gun fight during a set change.
Second set: 4 stars
Shania rides onto a set featuring a saloon on a horse. She performs «I Ain’t Your Friend» and «Nobody Needs To Know.» Showing off pink boots, she goes into «Who’s Bed Has Your Boots Been Under?» Shania talks to the audience before going into «Any Man of Mine.»
Third set: 4 stars
During a stage set there is a video of a cheetah. The set takes on a cheetah motif. Shania performs «Don’t Impress Me Much»,“I’m on my way,” & «If Your Not In It For Love.» Shania exits through a red door.
Fourth set: 4 stars
The new stage looks like woods. Shania reminisces how she got into music. She introduces her sister Carrie Ann as a back up singer before doing a remake of that song.
The set is now based around a campfire. She brings in 4 people to sing along to «Come on Over» «We’re Gonna Rock» and «Today Is Your Day.» This set reminds me of Unplugged. She picked a couple of interesting people that seemed to be in Margaritaville. They added humor.
Fifth set: 4 ½
During a stage set, the video turns to a fire then a snowy scene featuring a white horse. Shania rides in on a white horse. Sitting on the horse then petting it she sings «Still the One.» This is my favorite part of the show. She rides off stage on the horse.
Sixth set: 4 stars
On the sixth set a white blanket is across the stage. Shania performs «From This Moment.»
Seventh and final set: 4 stars
The new set with red light and smoke picks up the pace several notches. Flashy guitars are blasting. S-​H-​A-​N-​I-​A appears in large letters. Shania has become a rocker. The audience applauds loudly-​and our two hours with Shania ends.
Unilocal 100 Challenge. Review 51.

We have a new resident in town! Although fellow-​countrywoman Shania Twain hasn’t had a concert in over 8 years, you wouldn’t know it because she put on such a great show with energy, pizazz and live horses. Yes, she had a few horses out on stage with her that were very well behaved and you could tell that she loved those horses. We had the privilege to see her perform (special preview) before her debut performance here in Las Vegas starting on Dec 1 and she didn’t disappoint. She is a great artist that knows how to connect with her audience. This being her first concert in quite some time, she looked like a polish act. Her backup singers (including her sister Carrie-​Ann), dancers and band all did an awesome job too.
I loved the solo she had with her white horse when she sang «You’re Still the One». She looked great, sounded wonderful and all her costume changes look marvelous on her. Quoting her song «That Don’t Impress Me Much», well, we were very impressed by her. She actually recreated her music video of this song with her safari outfit and background. At one point, she had only the twin backup singers and her singing harmony without any accompanying music. Her voice is just awesome. This is definitely one of the best shows on the strip. Thanks to AEG Live Production for bringing such a wonderful talent to our city. Two thumbs up to you Shania! Welcome to our city.
