Blending burlesque and a classic showgirl aesthetic, "Dita Las Vegas: A Jubilant Revue" will open at the Horseshoe Las Vegas on Oct. 26.
Dita Von Teese, self-proclaimed International Queen of Burlesque, will star in the show, which will include costumes and sets from the show "Jubilee!" Von Teese was inspired by the production that ran on the same stage from 1981 to 2016 when the property was known as the MGM Grand and Bally's.
"It's been my dream to create a show that honors the great American art forms of burlesque and the showgirl," Von Teese said. "After many tours across Europe, Australia, the U.S. and Canada, to secure a home in Las Vegas -- the showbiz capital of the world -- and with the vaunted 'Jubilee!' legacy, I couldn't be more ecstatic."

Von Teese, who saw the show many times, promises to incorporate some of the same choreography, costumes and Strip flamboyance to the production in the historic theater. "Jubilee!" costumes created by the legendary Bob Mackie and Pete Menefee, hydraulic lifts and floating platforms will help reimagine the showgirl era.
"Like burlesque, the showgirl is no relic of the past," she said. "It's powerful to see this art form evolve and thrive, and that includes beauty and gender standards within it. I speak from experience: I never fit the height, figure or age standards to be a ballet dancer, or a 'Crazy Horse' cast member or even a showgirl. But I've always been about shattering expectations. This Vegas residency will be no different."
The 75-minute "Dita Las Vegas: A Jubilant Revue" will be staged at 9 p.m. on select Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, including special New Year's Eve weekend performances on Dec. 28, 29, 30 and 31.
