Bringing the timeless music and lyrics of Rodgers & Hammerstein to new life!

Peggy Micco Koning

After a diverse musical career, Peggy landed in Las Vegas 18 years ago after traveling the world by ocean liners as a featured entertainer. Five years later, having played Las Vegas extensively, Peggy retired from the music business to better juggle her more important and time consuming role…motherhood. To that point, Peggy wishes to thank her audition coach, daughter Olivia Rae. And to son A.J. and husband Michael, a big thank you for not burning down the house while she was at rehearsals! To all her family and friends, heartfelt thanks for their support and encouragement.
