They’re just dolls and dummies to some folks; however, when it comes to Terry Fator’s cast of talking heads? These puppets are costars in their own right who talk the talk, call the shots, and share the title of America’ s Got Talent champions. Teeming with personality and uncanny impersonations, plus a fresh new soundtrack, this visionary ventriloquist takes center stage at The Strat presenting, “One Man, A Hundred Voices, A Thousand Laughs.”
Along with original crowd-pleasing characters like Winston the Impersonating Turtle and Casanova cowboy Walter T. Airdale, the performance features celebrity inspired puppets and a legendary playlist that pays tribute to every genre. From Taylor Swift to Frank Sinatra, Fator effortlessly showcases his versatile style, comedic genius, and parody prowess while his puppets pipe up with banter and dialogue, demonstrating their own dimensionality. While there’s no doubt the leading man has the gift of gab, his singing talents and stand-up skits create seamless transitions and further showcase his “voice throwing” faculties. While audience members appreciate a fine-tuned Elvis impersonation and other class acts, Fator’s inventive new characters like Wrex, an Uber driver and crash test dummy, are equally convincing. These smooth-talking puppets contribute to clean, comedic fun for all ages but make no mistake—Fator’s tongue-in-cheek quips and quick wit are equally inspired. As a multifaceted maestro and master of his craft, Fator’s 15 years of experience on The Strip speaks to his ingenuity and immersive entertainment skills, as for how he does it? His lips are sealed, so see for yourself at 5 p.m. throughout the summer—no strings attached. thestrat.com
