To Perform Extended Engagement at Flamingo Las Vegas

Six-time Grammy award-winning artist, and international headlining performer Toni Braxton, will bring her spectacular live show - Toni Braxton: Revealed - to Las Vegas for an extended engagement in the Flamingo Showroom.

Flamingo Las Vegas proudly announces an agreement in principle to make Ms. Braxton the resident headliner at Flamingo Las Vegas beginning August 3.

"We are thrilled to have Toni join us at the Flamingo," said Don Marrandino, president of Flamingo Las Vegas. "She is a vibrant entertainer whose world stature will bring renewed energy and prestige to the same stage that has featured countless musical superstars over the past 60 years."

Just as she delivered in her recent critically acclaimed U.S. tour for her latest album, Libra, Toni Braxton: Revealed will be a sexy, entertaining and intimate evening with the woman who interprets the emotional essence of a song as no other artist can.

Revealed will be a full-scale musical production that draws upon Ms. Braxton's experience as an accomplished musician, singer and Broadway performer, complete with her incredible band, amazing costumes, background singers and dancers.

"I've just come off the road doing my first tour in 10 years and I can't wait to create an exciting new show for the legendary Flamingo," says Ms. Braxton.

"There is nothing like the thrill of performing nightly to a live audience with fans that have supported me throughout my career. I'm looking forward to developing the show for the Flamingo, settling into Las Vegas with my family and bringing Revealed to a whole new crowd," she added.

With one of the most distinctive and recognizable voices in contemporary music, Toni Braxton has an impressive catalog of five albums. Collectively she has sold over 40 million copies, including her best-selling Ultimate Collection.

Toni Braxton has built a worldwide base of music lovers since she first burst onto the contemporary music scene in 1991 with "Love Shoulda Brought You Home" (from the soundtrack for the hit movie "Boomerang").

She enjoyed a string of multi-platinum albums, starting with 1993's Toni Braxton, 1996's Secrets and 2000's The Heat, continuing with her 2001 Snowflakes holiday album and 2003's highly personal and thought-provoking More Than a Woman.

Along the way, Toni distinguished herself with unforgettable hit singles such as "Another Sad Love Song," "Breathe Again," "Un-Break My Heart," "You're Makin' Me High" and "He Wasn't Man Enough."

Over the course of her stellar recording career, Toni has also taken Broadway by storm, with starring roles in the musicals "Beauty & the Beast" and "Aida" and made her film debut in "Kingdom Come."

If you thought you knew Toni Braxton before, just wait until she's.....Revealed. The show promises an intimate look at the heart and soul of Toni Braxton, her music, her life, her loves.
