Come On Over

By Megan Riggs | December 9, 2013

Now in its second year at Caesars Palace, Shania: Still the One takes fans on a spectacular journey through the various stages of the country and pop superstar’s life and career. We spoke with Raj Kapoor, the director of Still the One, about Shania Twain and developing the elaborate production.

From the beginning, Twain knew what kind of show she wanted to bring to Las Vegas.

“She [said], ‘I want to do a show I can’t do anywhere else.’” Kapoor recalls. “I said, ‘Give me your dream list and let’s go from there.’ …She’s a big fan of Cirque du Soleil and Broadway; she’s very up on what’s happening in a theatrical, live setting but she wanted to combine [that with] an [intimate] concert experience. …And Vegas is able to bring that to the table.”

Kapoor made it his mission to make Still the One both large and dramatic—the show features live horses and scent technology for a 4-D experience—while still highlighting the spirit and songs of Twain.

“I looked at things that might be iconic to her fans and how we would reinterpret that 10 years later,” Kapoor notes, “so her fans still got to see the Shania they know and love but that felt very modern and contemporary and still gave everybody a few surprises along the way.”

And while Still the One showcases the numerous hits that put Twain among music’s top divas, it’s the big ending that seals the deal.

“I love the finale, ‘Man! I Feel Like a Woman!’” Kapoor concludes. “As soon as people hear those first couple of notes and the big Shania sign comes down and Shania is silhouetted against the backdrop, it’s this great moment. Everyone gets on their feet and it’s so fun. It has great energy—we send everyone out on a high note.”
