Icon of Las Vegas, the Spectacular Showgirl features the costume drawings from the creative designers that brought the glamorous showgirl on stage in sparkling rhinestones, vast arrays of feathers, shimmering silks, and translucent fabrics that dazzled as dancers moved across the stages of shows such as Jubilee, Hallelujah Hollywood, and Pzazz! In showrooms up and down the Las Vegas Strip over the decades, these designers brought exciting reviews to audiences from across the globe and into the history and lore of Las Vegas.
As part of the reception, there will also be a discussion and reading from the 2023 Las Vegas Writes anthology Feather Shows: Las Vegas Writers on Film, TV, and Other Spectacles at 6 pm, featuring Las Vegas authors Angela M. Brommel, Jenessa Kenway, and Nancy Wright Hardy.
