Topless burlesque productions have long been a staple of Sin City entertainment. From Don Arden\u2019s \u201cJubilee!\u201d to \u201cFolies Bergere\u201d and MGM Grand\u2019s \u201cLe Femme\u201d (later \u201cCrazy Horse Paris\u201d), the legendary and glamorous Las Vegas showgirl has earned her place in history.<\/p>\n

As times change, so have our definitions of \u201csexy\u201d and \u201cdaring.\u201d So it is that ROUGE, a spectacular new production at The STRAT Hotel Casino, is raising the bar. With its large international cast, elaborate costumes, and high-tech staging, ROUGE pushes boundaries and aims higher than any burlesque-style performance we\u2019ve seen before.<\/p>\n

ROUGE takes the unique approach of offering equal time to male and female performers. Perfectly-sculpted bodies of both genders move across the stage, into the audience, and through the air. The showgirl continues to reign supreme, but it\u2019s also a man\u2019s world in ROUGE. Moments of extreme athleticism and feats of strength are interwoven with those of delicate beauty and grace.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The characters of ROUGE inhabit a universe in which hedonism, fantasy, and a heavy dose of humor are the ultimate solution for everyday dilemmas. A bored suburban couple, an under-appreciated ballerina, and even the members of Marie Antoinette\u2019s court find comfort in once-forbidden Earthly pleasures.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Israel native Hanoch Rosenn is the guiding force behind ROUGE. Relatively new to Las Vegas, the director\/producer brought his family-friendly \u201cWOW\u201d to Rio Hotel Casino in 2017. The success of that water-based show allowed Rosenn to expand his theatrical portfolio with EXTRAVAGANZA, another all-ages spectacular. Larger in scope and more reliant on technological wizardry, EXTRAVAGANZA took over Bally\u2019s Jubilee Showroom in 2020, where it continues to thrill and inspire gasps.<\/p>\n

Eager to tap into a more adult-skewing demographic, Rosenn and his team have created ROUGE to appeal to open-minded adults of every gender identification. Preview performances began April 16th<\/sup>, and advance buzz has been unusually strong for the fledgling burlesque showcase.<\/p>\n<\/div>

ROUGE is hosted by the randy pair of \u201cDoctor Libido\u201d and his assistant, \u201cNurse Naughty.\u201d Acts include a water-drenched topless contortionist, the locker-room antics of a football team and its cheerleading squad, an extremely talented blow-up doll, and what is undoubtedly the most impressive hand-balancing act Las Vegas has ever seen.<\/p>\n<\/div>

A splashy formal premiere was held on May 17th<\/sup>. Members of the press mingled with cast members, celebrities, and fellow entertainers from a variety of acclaimed productions. Guests like award-winning magician Doug \u201cLefty\u201d Leferovich (Late Night Magic), drag superstar Frank Marino (Legends in Concert, DIVAS), and Ricky Rogers of \u201cChippendales\u201d enjoyed cocktails and hors d\u2019oeuvres before a special early-evening presentation.<\/p>\n<\/div>
