Classic Vegas isn't gone, you just have to know where to look for it. As one of the longest-running shows on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip, the retro-glam showgirl extravaganza Jubilee! at Bally's Las Vegas has entertained more than 11 million guests. On July 31 the show celebrates 28 years of gorgeous showgirls, lavish costumes, dazzling scenery, world-renowned specialty acts, dynamic music and graceful pageantry.
Conceived, staged and directed by the legendary Donn Arden, who brought the spectacular French-style revue "Lido de Paris" to Las Vegas, Jubilee! is an elaborate stage production
Critics from the Travel Channel/BBC, New York Times and Las Vegas Review Journal have hailed Jubilee! as the best showgirl show noting that "in an era of high-tech productions the timeless musical of Jubilee! is the last of its kind." Iconic showgirls from Jubilee! have been seen on "The View," NBC's 'The Today Show," "Last Comic Standing," "The Tyra Banks Show" and "The Montel Williams Show."
To maintain the highest show quality, open auditions are held twice per year for dancers and singers. This month the show travels to Orlando, New York and the entertainment capital, Las Vegas, to find talent that sparkles greater than the rhinestones on each costume. Aspiring female and male dancers are required to have strong ballet and jazz technique while singers are required to have range between up-tempo classic Broadway to ballads. The New York audition time and location are as follows:
Friday, July 17, 2009
Ripley Grier Studios
520 Eighth Avenue
Female/Male showgirls and dancers 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Female/Male singers 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

As the only showgirl show standing, Jubilee! embodies the very essence of sexy, classic Las Vegas. Last month the show kicked off a new creative campaign. Tag lines reading "The headdress weighs 35 lbs. but the rest of the costume could fit in a teacup," and "The grandest entrance in Vegas isn't at the front of a hotel" remind audiences about the glamour and spectacle of 85 women wearing little more than feathers and rhinestones.
