PEEPSHOW, described as a modern burlesque show, stars Mel B., also known as Scary Spice during her time with the Spice Girls, and Kelly Monaco, winner of the first season of “Dancing with the Stars” and one of the players on the daytime drama, General Hospital. 

Created by Jerry Mitchell, the Tony Award-winning director, choreographer and creator of the burlesque fundraiser Broadway Bares, and collaborating with BASE Entertainment, PEEPSHOW premiered at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in April creating a buzz and already making headlines with the possibility that Lindsay Lohan might make an appearance. 

During a press conference held in 2008 to announce the new show at Planet Hollywood, Mitchell said, "PEEPSHOW has been a dream of mine for a long time and now that dream is coming true. 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 these stunning dancers will use their bodies to tell a story." 

Mel B. portrays "The Peep Diva," who serves as the evening's emcee and guides Monaco’s Bo Peep’s character on her search for love. During this journey, fairy tales are told with an adult twist. There is one dance sequence involving a male and female dance in a bathtub that is sensual, erotic and sexy without being pornographic. Another highlight is the giant gilded pumpkin that revolves to reveal a red velvet case with a stripper pole. 

The beauty of PEEPSHOW is that it is a hot show for couples, but still not vulgar or offensive and holds the attention of male audience members without embarrassing the female audience members. 

Mel B. has quite a vocal range, stage presence and looks incredible considering she is the mother of two small children.  Monaco glides across the stage, projects charisma and also looks unbelievable. The female dancers are “natural” – no implants here. The male dancers and singers are buff, enticing and captivating.   

A design team of Broadway veterans has been assembled for PEEPSHOW: David Rockwell (set design), Gregg Barnes (costume design), Josh Marquette (hair design), Chris Lee (lighting design), Zachary Borovay (video design) and ACME Sound Partners (sound design). This is a high-production, high-energy, sizzling show for adults only. 

Show times are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Friday at 8 p.m. and Thursday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Tickets, priced $65-$100, are available by calling 474-4000 or by visiting Ticketmaster.com
