BY:  LYNN MARIE Entertainment Magazine The plot is simple, yet sexy and sultry.  The new production at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas stars Kelly Monaco (General Hospital’s Samantha ‘Sam’ McCall) and Mel B.   Throughout the show Queen of tease, Mel B takes the audience through a journey of fairytales, while turning them into very sexy provocative tales. It begins with Monaco as the lonely and unloved Bo Peep and she falls asleep reading her “Bedtime Stories” only to wind up in a stream of dreams where she meets Peep Diva (played by original Spice Girl Mel B; Melanie Brown). The Peep Diva leads Bo Peep to becoming a confident, empowered woman.  The performances are all unique and are backed by a red-hot, all female band.  Numbers include original songs by such artists as Madonna, Christina Aguilera and Aerosmith.   The sweltering production is described as “a modern burlesque show created specifically for the dynamic, glamorous audience that exists only in the adult playground of Las Vegas. A highly stylized, full-throttle production show that combines sexy striptease and celebrity with high-level production and stunning visual effects.”   Monaco and Mel B’s flawless figures keep audiences on the edge of their seats throughout the show.  Although the show features topless dancers, neither stars Monaco nor Brown are topless in the show. The plush and sexy showroom offers a viewing environment unlike any other venue in Las Vegas.  A seductive VIP section comes with cabaret-style seating near the foot of the stage and a complimentary specialty cocktail.   Playboy model and reality television personality Holly Madison has signed on to join the cast of “Peepshow.”  Madison is scheduled to start June 22nd.  She is expected to take over the role of Bo Peep, the role currently held by Kelly Monaco.  Monaco had signed a three-month contract and Madison’s deal will be similar.    For more information on Peepshow visit www.LasVegasPeepshow.com Photos: (Top) PEEPSHOW Silhouette, performed in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood.

About the PEEPSHOW Production

PEEPSHOW, starring pop superstar and television personality Mel B. opened for preview performances on March 30, 2009, with an opening night gala on April 18 of 2009. 

In addition to pop sensation Mel B who originated the role as the mistress of ceremonies, the “Peep Diva,” sultry television siren Kelly Monaco took the stage as “Bo Peep,” a timid girl who the Diva guides in her transformation into a confident, sensual woman.

PEEPSHOW is a modern burlesque show created specifically for the dynamic, glamorous audience that exists only in the adult playground of Las Vegas.  A highly stylized, full-throttle production show that combines sexy striptease and celebrity with high-level production values and a dash of passion, PEEPSHOW is a collaboration between Tony award-winning director/choreographer Jerry Mitchell and Las Vegas entertainment pacesetter BASE Entertainment.

“PEEPSHOW has been a dream of mine for a long time and now that dream is coming true,” said Mitchell.  “We have gathered 20 of the sexiest dancers from film, video, and Broadway to bring a truly American form of entertainment back to the strip. The art of the tease, mixed with humor, razzle-dazzle, and today’s sexy music, with PEEPSHOW these stunning dancers will use their bodies to tell a story.”

Mel B and Jerry Mitchell have had a long-standing relationship and worked closely together in perfecting her role as "Diva."  "I'm thrilled to partner with Jerry Mitchell and BASE Entertainment, a team known for creating some of the most spectacular shows in Las Vegas," said Mel B. "Because I'm coming out as a solo artist next year, I feel this show is putting me back in an arena that I'm most comfortable in and love doing most, which is performing and entertaining on stage."

 “I started doing theater in high school and continued through college,” said Monaco. “To have the opportunity to revisit this experience again on a higher level, words can’t express how excited I am to be a part of PEEPSHOW.  I can’t think of a better place to do it than Las Vegas.

Through many years of producing, directing, and choreographing his iconic annual event Broadway Bares in New York City, Mitchell has perfected the art of contemporary burlesque and modern strip tease – with PEEPSHOW he will bring it to life onstage in true Vegas style at Planet Hollywood.

In addition to choreography and direction from the venerated Mitchell, acclaimed designer David Rockwell is lending his talents to the show by designing the lavish sets and Showroom, creating a custom environment befitting the naughty fairytale world of PEEPSHOW.  Tony award-winning designer Gregg Barnes is also aboard, creating seductive costumes that will help blur the line between PEEPSHOW and reality.  To top it all off, the show will be backed by a powerhouse all-female band pumping out an engaging, contemporary soundtrack.

The Show

PEEPSHOW is a story of sexuality and empowerment told through dance and contemporary popular music, featuring the “Peep Diva,” a bold and powerful woman with all the answers, who guides the timid “Bo,” a modern woman who has yet to find her own power and sexuality, on a swift journey of awakening and self-discovery during which she’s inspired through sensual awareness and blossoms into a sexy, daring, provocative and more confident woman.

As the show begins we meet Bo with a short black and white film. Weary and defeated she falls asleep reading a book. When we zoom in on the book we discover she has fallen asleep reading a beautifully illustrated book of rhymes and fairy tales.  And suddenly she tumbles onto the stage entering the colorful world of PEEPSHOW.

Bo is whisked away by the Diva, whose powerhouse voice and supreme confidence carry a score of popular music and fuel high-end production numbers that are derived from popular fairy tales all told with a naughty twist.  It is the Diva who shows Bo a trick or two about life, men and love transforming the bookish girl into confident, sexy woman.
