Kelly Vohnn - Singer - Born in Toronto, Kelly Vohnn’s journey to Vegas shines brightly. Barbara Streisand, Through the Years, is just one of the many well-crafted shows she’s built. She will delight you with her favorite iconic tunes.  She was awarded the Silver State award in 2023. Kelly teamed up with one of New York and Broadway’s best and LV icon, Keith Thompson. Most know many
of his works as Producer/Director of Cocktail Cabaret, God Lives in Glass, the Composers Showcase at Myron’s, and Musical Director of Jersey Boys for their eight-year run here in Vegas. Witness this collaboration of musical arrangements, timing, and talent with this duo, and it’s simply magic! WNC is thrilled to get a taste of both of these generous and talented artists. Personally,
as VP of Luncheons, I am honored to call them my friends….click below for a quick video that I personally grabbed of Kelly earning her standing ovation with just one song! RSVP early…. Happy Days are Here Again.
