The Show
DIAMONDS and DUST is a tale of the good, the bad and the lucky featuring magnetic burlesque starlets and dangerous cirque artists. The production promises a thrilling blend of old west lore, vintage casino culture, high-stakes stunts and Dita Von Teese’s signature glamour.
Step into a hazy saloon and let the 52-card deck decide your fate. This is the untold story of the Wild West’s most notorious card dealer, making her own way in a man’s world while trying her hand at taming Lady Luck for herself, perhaps in vain…
Dita Von Teese will perform at a limited number of London shows - please check the website for further details.
