Stop being an obstinant prick this early in the morning.
Stop being an obstinant prick this early in the morning. I've got a simple question: How does a 450 seat theatre at a third tier casino support flying 12 musicians on two one-way legs across the U.S.?
As a follow up, suppose this guy IS the "Syrian Wayne Newton." Are his fans going to show up in Bumf**k, CA at an Indian casino nobody ever heard of for this show?
Gee, sorry if I'm a "prick" for pointing out the numbers don't work.
