Burlesque, short course bundles and Paddington bearPlus our guide to a great July
A fusion of fantasy and femme power dreamt up by Dita Von TeeseThe Queen of Burlesque has reimagined the Old West. Enter a fantastical realm of high glamour, bold women and dangerous games, from the pioneering mind of Dita Von Teese. Introducing Diamonds and Dust — a spectacular burlesque theatre show created by a master of the craft. It’s the inaugural production at the newly-unveiled Emerald Theatre, and it stars a bonafide pop icon, in the form of Steps’ Faye Tozer. The performer (who has previously appeared on stage in the likes of 101 Dalmatians and Everybody’s Talking About Jamie) plays a madam, gunslinger and heartbreaker by the name of Miss Kitty LeRoy. For select performances she’s joined by Dita herself, who’ll grace the stage as Lady Luck. Whether the icon is there in the flesh or not, her signature style occupies every shimmer and shimmy of Diamonds and Dust. We’re talking high stakes spectacle, femme power and a suitably sumptuous venue with premium seating for diners, VIP booths — plus a fabulous cocktail menu. Discover it for yourself this summer.
