Mike Tyson to hit the Vegas stage with a one-man show about himself

By Jay Levi

The always intriguing and unique former heavyweight boxing champion of the world “Iron” Mike Tyson will make his stage debut in Las Vegas with a one-man show about himself titled “Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth – Live on Stage.”

According the the LA Times, the stage show will premiere in April and run for six nights from April 13-18 at the Hollywood Theatre in the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino.

The one-man show is not some lecture but an actual theater piece similar to celebrities Carrie Fisher and William Shatner’s one-person stage shows. The director of the show is Randy Johnson, who is best known for “Elvis the Concert” and “One Night With Janis Joplin,” the show is co-written by Tyson’s wife Kiki.

If the show is a hit, the MGM Grand has plans to extend the run, and Johnson even has visions of taking the Tyson show on the road at different venues across the glob.
