Steps star Faye Tozer will take on the role of Miss Kitty LeRoy in the world premiere of new theatrical production Diamonds & Dust, which is coming to the Emerald Theatre in London’s West End.
Presented by Dita Von Teese, Tosca Rivola, Dee Parsons and Julian Stoneman, Diamonds & Dust is the untold story of Miss Kitty LeRoy, the Wild West’s most notorious card dealer, making her own way in a man’s world while trying her hand at taming Lady Luck for herself, perhaps in vain…
The production is described as a tale of the good, the bad and the lucky featuring West End performers, burlesque starlets and dangerous cirque artists, with a blend of Old West lore, vintage casino culture, high-stakes stunts and Von Teese’s signature glamour.
The cast appearing alongside Von Teese as Lady Luck (at certain performances) and Tozer as Miss Kitty LeRoy (at certain performances) will be Alexandros Beshonges, Isabelle Bosher, Candace Cane, Bethany Chan, Georgia Eddon-Burke, Hollie Kate, Cristian Liberti, Lady Lydia, Zoë Marshall, Callum Quinnen, Tosca Rivola, Manny Tsakanika, Zinzile Tshuma, Sienna Walker and Niko Wirachman.
At certain performances, the role of Lady Luck will be played by Didi Derrière, and the role of Miss Kitty LeRoy will be played by Katie Dunsden.
The production is conceived and directed by Tosca Rivola & Dita Von Teese, story by Tosca Rivola & co-written by Emma Henley & Careena Melia, choreography by Matt Nicholson, Dita Von Teese and Tosca Rivola, set and lighting design by Philip Gladwell, sound design by Gareth Owen, musical supervision by Lewis Carnie, associate costume designs by Jenny Quirk, and wigs, hair and make-up by Sam Cox.
Millinery is by Hood London, casting by Gusthart Casting & Pearson Casting and general management by MPSI. The production also boasts costume designs for Dita Von Teese by Jenny Packham and bespoke footwear designs by Christian Louboutin.
Diamonds & Dust is produced by Tosca Rivola, Dita Von Teese, Dee Parsons and Julian Stoneman, with coproducers Sydney Max Lee, Sienna Sinclaire, Robert Testagrossa and Paul Dainty.
