Olivia Newton-John opened her new residency at the Flamingo Las Vegas last night to standing ovations throughout multi-genre song set.

Olivia was in fantastic form both vocally and visually.  Moving across the stage with amazing ease, she sailed through over 20 songs in a 90 minute set.   Highlights were a "take no prisoners" vocal at the end of "Sam" that brought the house down, and an emotional 'you-could-hear-a-pin-drop' rendition of "Send In The Clowns" that reminded the audience that the singer is also an actress.  This is an artist at the peak of her powers in terms of interpretation and vocal ability. 

Celebrities in attendance were RuPaul, Dot Marie Jones of GLEE, Joey Lawrence of ABC Family's "Melissa & Joey," and rare audience member Marie Osmond who usually holds court on stage with her famous brother with their own long running show at the Flamingo.

You can see some of the red carpet action below:

And here are a few pics from the "Pink Carpet" and the opening night party held at the Flamingo poolside.
