The Las Vegas Tenors show, set for this Saturday at the Pikake Theater at Blaisdell Center, has been canceled — the latest victim of a soft economy.

The concert, by a popular Vegas attraction which was a sell-out attraction at the Las Vegas Hilton, was to be a benefit for HUGS, the family service non-profit organization.

But sales were slow, according to presenter Bob Peyton, whose BPE Productions Inc. had partnered with the charity's administration, Production Hawaii, to stage the act with an eight-piece orchestra. "But the support (in ticket sales) didn't come up to expectations, in a tough economy — and the economy hits the charities the hardest," said Peyton.

Refunds will be made at the points of purchase, which included Ticketmaster locations as well as the Blaisdell box office.
