After a whirlwind voyage to super stardom that includes winning the talent-search reality show "America's Got Talent" and appearing on "Oprah" and "The David Letterman Show," Terry Fator and his Cast of Thousands appears at his very own Terry Fator Theater at the Mirage. Not since Edgar Bergen, Charlie McCarthy, Buffalo Bob, and Howdy Doody have a ventriloquist and his characters caused such a sensation.

For those not familiar with Fator's act, he's a ventriloquist with quite a few tricks up his sleeve. He shares the stage with a cast of memorable characters--his puppets. The word "puppets" doesn't really do justice to the characters Fator has created. Each has a distinct personality, and each is charming and unforgettable.

As charming and endearing as the puppets are, take them away and you've still got Fator, an amazingly talented vocalist with the uncanny ability to sing hit songs and sound exactly like the artists that made the songs famous.

Add the puppets to Fator's incredible talent, and you've got $1 million-winning "America's Got Talent" act. If that's not enough to convince you, consider this: The ultra-critical "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell proclaimed Fator one of the "two most talented people on the planet."

Through ventriloquism, the puppets become the impressionists in Fator's act. Puppet Emma Taylor is a bit shy and unassuming, but she's the gal who helped Fator wow the judges of "America's Got Talent" with a rendition of "At Last" that sounded like Etta James was hiding offstage and doing the singing. The voice is incredible, but couple the voice with the fact that Fator manages to perform these songs with his mouth mostly closed in true ventriloquist fashion, and the effect is stunning.

Fator is a master at onstage banter and his show moves along at a quick pace. His expanded repertoire of musical impressions includes the Beatles, Amy Winehouse, the Pussycat Dolls, Brooks & Dunn, and Justin Timberlake. His repertoire includes about 15 puppets and literally hundreds of voices, and he's constantly retooling, refining, and adding new surprises to his hit act.

Fator has stolen the hearts of Americans with his down-to-earth but amazing talent, and the Las Vegas strip is ready for a show that will please people of all ages and walks of life.
