Cee Lo Green is heading to Vegas, paying homage to another hyper-flashy performer.
The "F--- You" singer and "The Voice" coach is doing a stint in the Sin City production "Cee Lo Green Presents Loberace" that will keep him busy through September and then after a short hiatus, through much of December, Green announced on his website Friday.

"Loberace" is described as "Part dance party, part live intimate concert," and features Green as "the conducter/ringmaster" who will take audiences " on a ride through the colorful decades of music, stopping at legendary moments in time, from Prince to Blue Magic to The Rolling Stones, new wave to disco and beyond."

"There will be mind-twisting magic and sexified showgirls, and the larger-than-life wardrobe and impressive stage design will out-glam and out-clever anything you’ve seen from this Muppet-ized, sequin-styled international Lady Killer to date," the announcement promises.
The production will play at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Vegas following performances of "Peepshow." Kicking off on Aug. 29, "Loberace" will run through Sept. 29, then return on Nov. 30 and run through a handful of dates in December.
