Burlesque revivalist Dita Von Teese will perform a Las Vegas residency on the Strip at Horseshoe Las Vegas, it was announced on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cDita Las Vegas: A Jubilant Review\u201d opens October 5 at the Jubilee Theater. That’s the venue that hosted “Jubilee!” at Bally\u2019s for 35 years. The very last showgirl show on the Strip ran there from 1981, when the casino resort was still known as the MGM Grand, through 2016.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDita Las Vegas\u201d is designed to reimagine the showgirl aesthetic through Von Teese\u2019s brand of sensual, prop-based burlesque. Inspired by musicals and films from the 1930s and 1940s, and featuring giant carousel horses and powder compacts, it was invented by Von Teese in 1992.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cLike burlesque, the showgirl is no relic of the past,\u201d Von Teese said in a press release. \u201cIt’s powerful to see this art form evolve and thrive, and that includes beauty and gender standards within it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Von Teese, who stands 5-foot-3, noted in the release that she never fit the height, figure, or age standards to become a showgirl, ballet dancer, or \u201cCrazy Horse\u201d cast member. \u201cBut I’ve always been about shattering expectations,\u201d she stated. \u201cThis Vegas residency will be no different.”<\/p>\n

Von Teese will serve as star and creative director of the 75-minute show, which will incorporate old-school hydraulic lifts, floating platforms and footbridges, and many of \u201cJubilee!\u2019s\u201d original Bob Mackie-designed costumes and sets, which she began buying up around town about a month ago.<\/p>\n

“It’s been my dream to create a show that honors the great American art forms of burlesque and the showgirl,” Von Teese said.<\/p>\n

Strip Teese<\/h2>\n

Born Heather Sweet 51 years ago, Von Teese chose her stage name as a tribute to silent film actress Dita Parlo. Her breakthrough Playboy magazine cover shoot in December 2002 required her to supply a surname, so she chose \u201cVon Treese\u201d from a phonebook, and she kept Playboy\u2019s misspelling.<\/p>\n

\n

In addition to burlesque dancing, Von Teese is also known for modeling, fashion-designing, and for her three-year marriage to Marilyn Manson, the now-canceled goth-metal icon in whose videos she performed in the early aughts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cDita Las Vegas\u201d will be directed and executive-produced by Michael Schwandt, former director of Cirque du Soleil\u2019s \u201cR.U.N.” at the Luxor.<\/p>\n

\u201cDita Las Vegas\u201d will run Thursdays through Saturdays at 9 p.m. Tickets go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. Thursday, July 13 through ticketmaster.com\/DitaVegas, which also contains information about fan and Caesars Entertainment presales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
