Olivia tells Brooke, "I'm very excited to announce, especially for ET, that I'm going to be commencing a special engagement, a residency at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, starting in April, and I'm very excited!"
An international superstar for four decades thanks to hits like Physical and movies like Grease and Xanadu, Olivia's Summer Nights residency inside the Donny & Marie Showroom (while they're taking time off) begins on Tuesday, April 8, promising to take "audiences on a musical journey through her life in film and music" with the accompaniment of an eight-piece band.
So, will audiences get to see John Travolta joining his good friend on stage? "If you can talk him into coming to Vegas that would be cool," she laughs.
