Six months. Six triumphant tribute performances. The STARS show is a true cultural phenomenon stretching far beyond Boomerang Casino. This project is unique not only for the Krasnaya Polyana Gaming Zone but for the entire Krasnodar Region. Tribute band performances always boost attendance and perfectly complement the gaming programme.
The STARS show is not licensed: it is an original show created and developed at Boomerang Casino, filling the vacant niche of premium-class entertainment at Rosa Khutor. The heart of the programme consists of tribute performances celebrating legendary Russian and international artists. A tribute is more than just a concert by a cover band. Cover bands often perform their own versions of various hits. Tribute, on the other hand, is the art of bringing a legend to life. Tribute artists devote their art to a single idol and carefully recreate not only the music, but also their image, mannerisms and spirit. This fidelity to the original and in-depth immersion make this project unique.
Facts and figures: six months of steady work, six sold-out shows, an audience of thousands. Between February and July, about 4,000 people came to see the show. Compared to last year, total audience numbers increased by 39% and the average audience per show grew by 15%.
The range of names is impressive. The parade of stars was inaugurated in February by Michael Jackson’s talented and charismatic double Gago Jackson. In March, Boomerang Casino’s stage rocked to monumental rock ballads performed by Queen’ika. And, in April, our guests tripped the light fantastic to Leningrad’s rebellious tracks sung by the Labugrad tribute project. May was memorable for the energetic Ne Ruki Vverkh! – no comments needed as the name speaks for itself. June greeted our guests with Kino’s cult songs performed by the Skhema tribute band from Krasnodar. In July, our guests twisted and rocked the house to the hits of the King of rock’n’roll himself performed by ELVIS ON TOUR.
The lineup is not chosen randomly It is based on in-depth analysis of Boomerang Casino audiences’ preferences.
Natalia Voldayeva, CEO of the Krasnaya Polyana Gaming Zone, says, “When we choose tribute projects for the STARS show, we always seek a balance. On the one hand, we are looking for artists whose hits appeal to our guests, ranging from lovers of classical rock to fans of contemporary rhythms. On the other hand, we carefully evaluate the quality of the show itself, how spectacular it is, whether it can, indeed, channel the magic of the original. We are pleased that our guests have appreciated this format: the spike in attendance speaks for itself!”
The STARS show is held monthly on the day of the Cosmic Pot giveaway with its prize fund of RUB 10,000,000. Every evening is a striking synthesis of thrilling emotions and a virtuoso incarnation of a musical story and history. The next show at Boomerang Casino is coming up on 30 August when our guests will enjoy Adele’s scintillating hits performed by the dazzling Adele Tribute Show.
