LEADVILLE OR BUST!
Reyna Von Vett and Hell’s Belles in “Leadville or Bust” to premiere at the Crossroads Theater
Tuesdays and Wednesday’s this summer just got a bit hotter at the Crossroads Theater at 27th and Welton. “Leadville or Bust” will be performed at 7:30pm on Tuesday and Wednesday nights from July 22nd – August 13th.
“Leadville or Bust” is a celebration of the original girlie shows enjoyed by the miners and settlers of the Old West. As an almost lost art, the origins of Burlesque were naughty and bawdy shows full of double entendre and gorgeous dancing girls in tights. Before burlesque became “strip-tease,” old time burlesque shows were simply “tease.”
Reyna Von Vett and Hell’s Belles dance and sing in tight four-part harmonies to fun, turn-of-the-century songs like “Ragtime Cowboy Joe,” “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” and “Seeing Denver” to bawdy songs like “Sam the Hot Dog Man,” “Hot Nuts (Get ‘Em From The Peanut Man),” “Press My Button (Ring My Bell)” and many more…
Reyna Von Vett is an accomplished singer and actress who preformed for over one million guests as Tanya in the smash Broadway hit Mamma Mia! at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas for over 3 years. Most recently, she and her Belles (Elizabeth Welch, Michelle Sergeeff and Melinda Smart) appeared in the Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ production of The Taffetas.
Reyna said: I loved singing with these girls so much that I incorporated them into my show. If you liked The Taffetas, you’ll love Reyna Von Vett and Hell’s Belles in “Leadville or Bust.” Whether it’s music from Nifty 50’s or Naughty 90’s, these girls are gorgeous and they can sing! I am just so thrilled to have them singing with me once again. This show is a dream come true!”
There is another Colorado connection – The music of “Leadville or Bust” was arranged by Wendell Vaughn, the Country Dinner Playhouse’s 13-year musical director who is currently conducting the national tour of Mamma Mia!
