The Bronx Wanderers
What comes to mind when a father, his sons, and their two high school classmates get together and form a show? For starters, you can say a diverse recipe of hilarious personal stories, a vast repertoire of songs spanning all genres and decades, and one family's journey together through life and music. The Bronx Wanderers pride themselves on being one of the only shows able to entertain audiences of all ages in one sweeping musical tour deforce. They've had a top 10 show in Las Vegas for 8 years out of 253 shows, were winners of 9 Best of Las Vegas awards, currently have a residency at the South Point Hotel and Casino, and were inducted into the East Coast Music Hall of Fame. In 2022, they were awarded the "Best Tribute Show" by Las Vegas Weekly. The chemistry and energy they exert show after show proves they are still having the time of their lives on stage 20 years later and you will too.
