Jerry may have been destined for greatness. He was born Joseph Levitch on March 16th, 1926 in Newark, New Jersey. His parents, Danny and Rae Lewis were professional entertainers. While his father, as Jerry puts it, “was the total entertainer,” his mother played the piano at New York City radio station WOR, made musical arrangements and was her husband’s musical director.

Jerry’s debut was a performance of “Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?”, at a Catskills Hotel. By 15, Jerry had perfected a comic routine, miming and silently mouthing lyrics of operatic and popular songs played on the phonograph offstage.

Jerry attended high school in Irvington, New Jersey, quitting after two years, a move he has often regretted. Then came a variety of jobs, including counterman behind a drugstore lunch counter, usher at Loew’s State in New York City and shipping clerk in a hat factory.

In 1946, Jerry began a showbusiness partnership with Dean Martin that would skyrocket both to fame. They began working separately but were soon ad-libbing together, improvising insults and jokes, squirting seltzer water, hurling bunches of celery and creating a general atmosphere of zaniness. They were as big as Elvis and the Beatles.

For ten years, Martin and Lewis sandwiched 16 moneymaking films between nightclub engagements, personal appearances and television bookings. Martin & Lewis were the Kings of Entertainment. After Martin & Lewis split, Jerry was constantly on the move. He recorded several records and albums. One of them, Rock-a-Bye your Baby, has sold nearly 4 million copies. Jerry’s first solo film, The Delicate Delinquent, was a worldwide smash, earning 6 million dollars, a huge amount for 1957. The first film Jerry directed was The Bellboy (1960) which he wrote in a week and shot in under a month on a budget of 900,000 dollars.

The Bellboy went onto gross some 50 million dollars. Years later, Charlie Chaplin asked Lewis for a print, citing the film as his best.

Jerry’s book Dean & Me (A Love Story), is on New York’s Best Seller List. It is poignant memoir by turns moving, tragic and hilarious, Jerry recounts every step of a fifty-year friendship that began in 1945 to their tragic final encounter in the 1990s. In Dean & Me, Jerry makes a convincing case for Dean Martin as one of the most underrated comic talents of our era.

Newsweek has ranked Jerry as one of the top five most recognized people in the world. He is an award winning filmmaker; an inventor who revolutionized the motion picture industry with Video Assist technology; a man who has improved the human condition by raising two billion dollars to fight a crippling disease, and the only entertainer in history to be nominated for the coveted Noble Peace Prize.

A fact not widely known in the United States is that Jerry has won the Best Director of the Year award eight times in Europe since 1960. He has been very important to the French New Wave directors because his films, as theirs, aspired to be as personal as diary entries.

January 2006 was an exciting month for Jerry. He was presented with a lifetime achievement award at the Berlin’s Golden Camera Awards. He also was the recipient of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences 2005 Governors Award. and a box set of the Colgate Comedy Hour was starring Jerry and Dean between 1950 and 1955 was cleaned up and digitally restored into a box set entitled, Legendary Jerry.

So a month has gone by. Are there any more die-hard Lewis fans going to Vegas for at least one night? This may be the last chance to see him in Vegas.

Oh how I wish! But I want to wish you all a FANTASTIC time and I'm sure you will have priceless memories.

Checking with The Orleans, it doesn't look like any show is sold out. There are top priced seats available every night. Hopefully as it gets closer to showtime, it will fill in. Maybe people are cautious about him cancelling. Then again, he may cancel if its not enough people. So, any more takers? Time is running out.

Oh, i'm so glad you said that, Joe!!! I'm waiting to raise enough cash to be able to come over and go to one of the shows and i was so scared it would be sold out in no time!!

Did you check out Orbitz.com or priceline.com? There are many to check out. Also the day you leave or go back makes a difference also. I assume the saturday show will eventually sell out, but not thursday or sunday, so you can even get tickets the same day maybe. The first step is getting the plane booked. That gives you time to raise more money for the show. A room will always be available someplace.

It's the flight i'm worried about! They're asking a bomb for flights from the UK to Vegas..... maybe i haven't found the right airline yet, i'll keep searching! I really would like to come to the Sat show though cause most of you guys will be there too!

They're asking a bomb for flights from the UK to Vegas

Wrong choice of words! Don't forget, this is the United States we are talking about!
Mention of a bomb and an airplane in the same sentence will get you detained.

I haven't ruled the possibility out yet. Just need to wait a little longer to make sure all systems are a GO! Maybe closer to mid-June/late-June.

Silly Thea, that really WAS a bad choice of words!!! I'm sorry.

Don't throw away those tickets from the cancelled show. They may be a collectors item one day

My tickets would be more valuable to me if I was able to keep the ticket stubs from the shows I have seen, as opposed to the whole ticket from the shows I haven't seen. And I have 4 tickets!

I still have my ticket stubs from Damn Yankees when it was here in SF in 1996

i'm going...i always go to vegas this time of year anyway

The Orleans says the shows cannot be re-scheduled until early 2007 since they are booked up. They said the July 2006 shows probably would have been standing room only.

Although I got a phone call from The Orleans tuesday night teling me the show had been cancelled, I got another phone call today. The lady asked if I was aware the show had been cancelled? I felt like asking her, "Is the Pope catholic?"
She said because I bought my tickets online, they don't always make a phone call, but obviously for me they did.
I asked her about the story that said it would have been a sellout. She said tickets were selling pretty fasy and a complete sellout wasn't out of the question. They don't have a standing room only policy, but they add folding chairs along the back and the sides (which annoys the hell out of me. The idiots didn't get a ticket in time and now they are probably paying less than me and could be sitting right next to me.)
