If You Have Been Waiting For An Opera About Poker

Your wait is over.

Created by Tim Molyneux, with support from Phil Hellmuth and the World Series of Poker, this is the first poker-themed musical and the first musical to be developed in conjunction with a leading sports brand. Echoing the core values and fabric that makes up poker players, this new genre of entertainment is a first for Las Vegas.

The story of All In: The Poker Musical revolves around the final nine players at the Main Event of the World Series Of Poker and, just like in the real WSOP, these players come from all walks of life. These clearly identifiable characters sing songs that are interlaced with poker analogies, quotes, and situations that also apply to the game of life.

“Through the lyrics of the songs and style of music, we see not only who these final nine players are, but we are able to see ourselves, our families, and our world,” said Phil Hellmuth, the 11-time WSOP bracelet winner and international poker icon.

Molyneux is a world-renowned creator of large-scale production shows, including Bite, which celebrates its four-year anniversary on the Las Vegas Strip this August. He has worked with Dolly Parton, Playboy, Royal Caribbean Cruises, and is currently featured on E! Entertainment Television and the Lifetime Channel.

The one-hour concert during the WSOP will feature a live band, showgirls and such Broadway show veterans as Jimmy Lockett (Big River, The Music Of Andrew Lloyd Webber, Starlight Express, Cats); Reva Rice (Starlight Express, Smokey Joe’s Café, Fosse, Chicago, and Spamalot); and Brandon Nix (We Will Rock You).
