Just announced: Joint Artistic Director Petra Massey is heading to Las Vegas for a year from this September, on loan from Spymonkey as host of Spiegelworld’s new Atomic Saloon Show at the Venetian Hotel on the Strip. The show is directed by Cal McCrystal, and will also have an inaugural run at Edinburgh Festival this August.
Spiegelworld says:
“Blazing Saddles” meets “America’s Got Talent” meets ”Westworld”. Spiegelworld presents the world premiere of Atomic Saloon Show at the 2019 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Following its season in the Assembly’s Palais du Variété Spiegeltent, the fast, funny, adults-only circus-variety show will take up residency on the Las Vegas Strip.
Could this be the wildest watering hole in town? Her first hotel was acquired by the government as an atomic bomb test site, but, decades later, Boozy Skunkton has returned. She has collected the “most abnormally sexy but sensationally amoral” troupe of entertainers on earth and is determined to create the greatest saloon show the world has ever known. With an international cast of comic actors, variety acts, and acrobats, Atomic Saloon Show will take audiences to the Wild West as it never was.”
