Poker Themed Musical Coming to the Rio

| June 26, 2008 at 3:54 am

Musical creator Tim Molyneux has teamed up with Phil Hellmuth and the World Series of Poker to create “All In: The Poker Musical”, scheduled to run July 4th and 5th at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino during the beginning of the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event.

The story revolves around the final nine players at the WSOP Main Event and songs are reportedly interlaced with poker analogies and quotes. Hellmuth worked closely with Molyneux and even has his own character in the show.

“Tim is known for writing very commercial material that is not only creative but sexy, hip and attainable for the masses,” Hellmuth said. “His poker musical sings loudly that poker is for everyone and we are all in this special game and this world together.”

The WSOP has also chosen one of the songs from All In: The Poker Musical to debut during the Main Event of the 2008 WSOP. “All In: The Poker Musical really captures what the WSOP brand stands for and reminds us all that anyone can win and anyone can win on poker’s greatest stage,” said Pollack.

Tickets start at $29.95 and are available at the Rio Box Office or by calling 702-777-7776. They are available on the Web at www.riolasvegas.com or www.pokermusical.com.
