Katy Monroe is turning Maxan Jazz into a Halloween ballroom next Thursday, October 29, with a 7 p.m. show built around moody standards, a live band and a costume contest for anyone bold enough to compete. Spellbound: A Glamourous Halloween Affair is the latest themed night from the Las Vegas entertainer, and it comes with a strict age cutoff: guests must be 21 or older to get in the door.
What to Expect at Spellbound
According to the Las Vegas Weekly events listing, the evening centers on the Demetrios & Monroe duo performing jazz standards, timeless favorites and romantic melodies dressed up with Halloween-themed flourishes. Monroe herself is described in separate coverage as a Las Vegas-based singer, model and entertainer, and the listing bills her as a Las Vegas entertainer, recording artist and international glamour model. The night also includes a costume contest with prizes for the best look, and the listing encourages guests to show up in attire that's glamorous, creative or mysterious rather than strictly spooky.
Backing Monroe on stage will be a small jazz combo: Eric Tewalt on saxophone, YL Douglas on drums and Bob Sachs on bass, per the same listing. At the piano and leading the group is Demetrios Pappas, a pianist and musical director who, according to broadwayworld.com, is widely known for his work as musical director for Smokey Robinson.
A Recurring Residency at the Decatur Boulevard Club
This isn't Monroe's first themed night at the intimate club at 4130 S Decatur Blvd, as the venue's address is confirmed in the same broadwayworld.com report on her April performance. Spellbound follows a pattern she's built throughout 2026, swapping out concepts and sometimes her backing musicians while keeping Maxan Jazz as her home stage. In April, she returned to the room for a show called Glamour, Reimagined, running from 7 to 10 p.m. with Demetrios Pappas back on keys and music direction, Brahm Sheray on bass, Adam Schendel on drums, and special guest Dana Daye rounding out the bill.
Then in September, Monroe pivoted to a different mood entirely. The station's related report notes she returned to Maxan Jazz on September 21 with The Velvet Affair: Songs for Lovers, a lovers-themed set the outlet described as delivering a rousing evening of smooth jazz, timeless love songs and old-Hollywood glamour. That lineup also leaned on Tewalt and Douglas, identified in that coverage as a Smokey Robinson saxophonist and a Barry Manilow drummer, respectively, both of whom return for Spellbound.
Costumes Encouraged, Doors Open to Adults Only
Spellbound keeps the same romantic, old-Hollywood sensibility Monroe has leaned on all year but swaps in Halloween-themed elements for the season, according to the Las Vegas Weekly listing. The costume contest adds a competitive edge to what's otherwise billed as a night of music, with prizes going to whoever best nails the glamorous, creative or mysterious dress code. As with her other Maxan Jazz dates, the event is restricted to guests 21 and older.
