On a trip to Las Vegas a few summers ago I saw David Goldrake’s show Illusionarium at the Tropicana. We’d met just a day or two earlier; he invited me and it was excellent. Bursting with ideas; more than could be accommodated in its modest production. Davis is a swell guy, a sweet guy who really cares about every aspect of his shows. The hotels and casinos on the Vegas strip were just starting to fully recover from the last recession when the mass shooting, and then the novel coronavirus, decimated business. Getting a show remounted in these times will be difficult, but I believe David Goldrake is the guy who can make it happen. Chloe Olewitz drags the man from Luxembourg out of his shell.
