March 19, 2011
McPherson Opera House, KS
From Broadway to Las Vegas

Rebecca and Philip presented a new full length concert at this newly restored opera house on the
Register of National Landmarks, in McPherson, KS. John Holecek, Executive Director of the Opera House,
had this to say in a note he sent to fellow Arts Presenters:
"The show moves with marvelous ease and naturalness but always with theatrical flair.  Given Rebecca Spencer’s and Philip Fortenberry’s extensive background in musical theatre, the musicianship is impreccable. Rebecca’s asides between musical numbers take the audience through the stage door for an insider’s look at Broadway.
Rebecca and Philip’s performance at the McPherson Opera House was their maiden voyage with this all new show,
and I, as Executive Director, can truly say that “ From Broadway to Las Vegas” is one of the best shows we’ve ever presented.  The post-show audience response in conversations with me was exceptionally positive.
As Jack Lord used to say on Hawaii Five-O,  'Book’em Danno!'"

The Las Vegas Review Journal named Phantom the Top New Production on the Strip, raving
"There's lots of talent on display at 'Phantom -- The Las Vegas Spectacular,' but
the person I can never stop watching is Rebecca Spencer…The actress gets to show her sensuous side
in a new CD, "Fair Warning,"and it's difficult to believe that this
passionate vocal performance comes from the same body and soul as our Madame Giry."
