Jabbawockeez: Mus.IC Vegas Show

Last weekend I was lucky enough to make the trek to Las Vegas to catch the Jabbawockeez headlining show "Mus.IC" featuring members from SuperCrew and Supreme Soul. While Vegas always makes for a great weekend getaway, the highlight was definitely the Jabbawockeez show!

I didn't know what to expect going in to it this show: what would the story be? How would they keep it fresh for a 2 hour long performance? Well, they put on a fantastic show that mixed dancing, laughs, and crowd interaction! If you catch the show during this next week before it closes, I HIGHLY recommend! It's worth every penny and the best bang for your buck without a doubt. If you plan on making it to the show, stop reading here. Keep reading for a full breakdown of the show and my thoughts.


The show opens with one of the Jabbas walking through the crowd and interacting with the audience. He danced in the aisles and got couples to dance together. My favorite bit was when he got a couple to dance together to a generic romantic slow song, then he would dance with the lady to "Let's Get it On." The entire show was filled with funny moments like this that kept the pacing and dancing interesting.

There was no opening act, it just opened with the Jabbawockeez on stage, setting up stereos and the storyline. The story is pretty loose, because really it's all about the dancing, but it revolves around a janitor who hits his head and goes into his dreams. In between dance routines with amazing head spins, flips, and isolations, they brought up a couple people from the audience to participate. After a hilarious rendition of "Single Ladies" with a distinctive Jabbawockeez twist, they brought up a girl to sit on stage while they danced to "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid.

I thought SuperCrew would be performing their own routines, but for the most part they were support in group numbers. They did have a great ninja themed routine full of flips and acrobatics. They did their signature move where one stood on the shoulders of another and then they fell forward into a flip and roll. It was a great routine and provided an exciting change of pace to the Jabbawockeez's style of isolations and smooth movements.

Another highlight for me was the "Hits and Misses from the 90s to today" medley of one-hit wonders covering everything from New Kids on the Block to Vanilla Ice. They integrated in the staple moves of each song into their very modern, Jabba-infused routines.

The show was great and it was such a fun experience since the crowd was just as invested in it as the performers. The crowd was singing along, clapping to the beat, and ended the show with a standing ovation. I hope this show's success paves the way for more shows like it. I know I would totally be in for a Quest headlining show with Beat Freaks and other guests.
