We are now featuring behind the scenes photos & videos from the pilot show. These posts have already created instant excitement and interest from Jamaicans, dancehall lovers and Mr. Vegas fans from around the world”.
Mr. Vegas is excited that this idea is well on its way to becoming a reality: “The pilot, screened at NATPE Miami 2014, got rave reviews from Digital distributors who were impressed by the quality of the production as well as the dynamic cultural experience and global integration the show could deliver”.
