Opera, dance, theatre, Cirque du Soleil and Vegas showgirls: lighting designer David Finn has done it all, including Dita Las Vegas, Dita Von Teese's residency at Jubilee Theater, Horseshoe Las Vegas, where it ran from October 2023 through June 2024.

As Dita says about her show: "This revue shines the spotlight on an unparalleled glitzy Las Vegas experience that no other venue in this town can deliver, and for very good reason—from the inimitably extravagant and authentic showgirl costumes to the last-of-its-kind historic stage of the glamorous revues gone by. Nothing beats the real McCoy." 

Finn adds: "Michael Schwandt, the creative director, and his team were excellent and a joy to work with. An uber-talented group of dancers, and gorgeous Bob Mackie sets and costumes (with additional designs by Marina Toybina) brought a shine to this production.  And Dita is a beautiful individual and an iconic performer."
