Burlesque star returns to Crazy Horse Paris

By Damon Hodge

Burlesque artist Dita Von Teese will be performing at the MGM Grand's Crazy Horse Paris revue March 31 through April 17.

Von Teese, which MGM said was "the first guest star in the history of the famous cabaret," performed to sold-out crowds during her stint with the Las Vegas show three years ago.

Von Teese will debut "Lazy," a number featuring her and the Crazy Horse dancers; "Le Bain Noir," a new take on her famous bathtub show that she performed in Paris in 2006 and Las Vegas in 2007; and "Teese'ing," her interpretation of the iconic Crazy Horse number "Teasing."

In addition, the MGM Grand is offering a Crazy Horse Paris Dita Von Teese Package that includes two front-row seats to one of Von Teese's performances, a private backstage meet and greet and a signed photo.

"I'm really excited about returning to the Crazy Horse stage in Las Vegas," Von Teese said in a statement. "Not just as the featured performer, but reconnecting with the dancers. I had so much fun working with them onstage. It's a team, and we all have mutual respect and adoration for each other. I rarely perform in the U.S., and I'm excited for the American people to discover the brilliance of Crazy Horse."

"Von Teese's long-time fascination with 1940s cinema, and her classic retro style have made her synonymous with classic vintage glamour," MGM said.

Shows will be at 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. nightly from Wednesday, March 31 to Wednesday, April 7. The show will be dark Tuesday, April 6. Tickets for Von Teese's performances are available for $75, not including taxes and service fees. Tickets can be purchased at any MGM Mirage ticket outlet by calling MGM Grand at (702) 891-7777 and online at www.mgmgrand.com or www.ticketmaster.com. Guests must be at least 18 years of age to attend the show.

    'Perhaps American should focus on flying a financially reliable airline instead of spending countless resources on fighting agents and GDSs in expensive courts and threatening to pull out of the distribution channels that feed it money.'
