STRIP EXTRA: JUBILEE'S TOP ALUM

In addition to our regular episode interview with Jubilee!
showrunner Fluff LaCoque, we’re also marking the 30th anniversary
of the vintage vegas showgirl production with this conversation
with the show’s most successful alumna, Tina Walsh. As you’re
about to hear, Walsh came to Vegas from Texas as a young actress
determined to put in a few months as a singer and dancer for
Jubilee! Instead, she stayed in the show for eight years, then
starred in EFX with Michael Crawford, Tommy Tune and Rick
Springfield. After that, she opened Mamma Mia! at Mandalay Bay in
the lead role of Donna and currently she appears nightly as
Madame Giry in Phantom: The Las Vegas Spectacular. In this
conversation, Walsh tells terrific stories of life backstage at
Jubilee in the 1980s and 1990s, when she and her co-stars shared
a backstage hallway at Bally’s with a showroom where the likes of
Sammy and Dean performed regularly.
