The Queen of Burlesque is performing in the capital this summer
When it comes to burlesque, no one does it better than Dita Von Teese so when she brings a new show to town, you can bet it’s going to be pretty spectacular. Diamonds and Dust, which’ll be her debut production as a theatrical director, will have its world premiere at brand new West End venue, the Emerald Theatre, this summer.
Playing from 16th June, Diamonds and Dust tells the story of the Wild West’s most notorious card dealer, who’s making her way in a man’s world all while trying to tame Lady Luck herself. Blending cards, casinos and the Old West with buckets of glamour and some high-stakes stunts, the show will star Von Teese as Lady Luck (who’ll be wearing bespoke Christian Louboutin footwear and costumes designed by Jenny Packham), alongside some of the country’s finest theatrical performers, burlesque artists and cirque artists.
As well as watching all the action on stage, you’ll be able to indulge in experiential dining (a bespoke menu has been designed by Euphoria by Lara Norman), enjoy curated cocktails, and book private rooms during your visit to the Emerald Theatre. And should you not be ready to call it a night, there’ll be post-show entertainment, including DJ sets and live lounge singers, on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Speaking about Diamonds and Dust, Dita Von Teese said, “I am looking forward to welcoming London into the exciting glamour-verse we’ve been carefully preparing. Bringing together my love for Americana, haute style and all things burlesque, we can’t wait to share our theatrical production with London’s Glittering West End.”
Tickets for Diamonds and Dust don’t go on sale until 12th February, with pre-sale beginning on 10th February, but you can sign up below for priority access if you’re keen.
