In Frank Marino’s show, Joan Rivers lives forever.

Marino is keeping Rivers’ legacy — and his own — at center stage as he extends his “Divas, Drag & Drinks” show at Virgin Hotels’ 24 Oxford. The production returns 4 p.m. April 7 and runs “scattered” Sundays (Marino’s term) through the end of the year.

The Vegas drag icon is back May 5 and May 12, then breaks until Aug. 12.

Marino has portrayed Rivers, or an act inspired by Rivers, for nearly 40 years in Las Vegas, beginning in 1985 with “Evening at La Cage” at the Riviera. The 60-year-old headliner has starred at Linq Hotel in “Divas Las Vegas” and fronted the “Legends” production at Tropicana from September-December 2019.
