DLUX Entertainment is excited to bring our innovative family shows to Las Vegas, Nevada. We have opened our primary location here and are available for bookings of our current shows, custom developed productions or consultation. We offer story adaptation, amazing backdrops, awesome characters, life-sized puppets, and versatile dedicated performers.
As a nationally recognized, Las Vegas based production company, DLUX Entertainment is presented at theaters and performing arts centers across the country. We use high-quality puppetry, actors, and live virtual sets (axtell.com) to perform fun musical adaptations of popular titles.
