“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,” oldtime 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 MyBell)” and many more…

Reyna Von Vett is an accomplished singer and actress who performed 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. 

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!
