Dita Von Teese Instagram – This video is from the very first time I got on the #showgirl disc that descends from the rafters of the colossal #Jubilee Theater @horseshoevegas I honestly wasn’t ready for how intense it was, passing over the top of the grand drape, from four stories above the stage. Donn Arden sure did put the #Bluebells through their paces! Since this initial ride, I’ve received kind and helpful advice from a few former #jubileeshowgirls I have an immense amount of respect for #showgirls and showguys, especially all who performed in this spectacular room, which is loaded with incredible tricks no one would spend the money on on in this day and age, solely for the sake of beauty, glamour and fantasy. I loved #Jubilee! so much, as many did. I am so honored to bring the spirit of it back, in a new way. It’s the tip of the iceberg 😉 of the #vintagevegas decadence that was once here every night for more than 40 years! A few interesting facts about Jubilee: It opened on July 31, 1981 at an initial cost of 10 million dollars. The costume budget alone was 4 million dollars, which is equivalent to about $12 million today. (The most oplulent costumes are back on stage as part of my show) When it first opened, the cast had over 100 performers in it and there were 75 stagehands working on the show. The feathered headdresses worn by the showgirls (and now showguys too!) weigh up to 35 pounds. The costumes worn in the Grand Jewel Box Finale tribute to Florenz #Ziegfeld was designed by #BobMackie. There were 36 individual designs, each based on the jewel tones of amethyst, sapphire, emerald, and ruby. When it closed in 2016, it was the longest-running production show in Las Vegas. #DitaLasVegas is on select Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays through April.
