I'm sorry that I've taken so long to write about the reunion, but most of you who are on this blog were there and have been inundated with photos since then. I hope you all had as much fun as I did! It was worth it on all counts to see all of your beautiful smiles once again!
This month, I'm posting links/news clips that I've been collecting from fellow Jubilee! Alumni so that we can have the majority of them in one place. I'm mostly focusing on the 30th year celebration, because there are so many other clips out there on YouTube. I'm sure I may have missed some, so please feel free to email me the link either on here in the comments section or on FB or cynthia@dancersdumonde.com.
Again, THANK YOU all so much for the constant communication, patience during the constant change of logistics and just making the effort to get together!!

We're not kidding when we say we've always wondered about this particular showgirl trivia. Whenever you see showgirls, they seem to be doing this thing with their legs...

WHO?!?! Adding this performer, Matt Gross, to the finale was sacrilege (that was the consensus from the alumni when we heard and apparently from the current cast as well. Where was Liza Minnelli when we needed her?)

Showgirl/Vegas Revue History: Another Showgirl Documentary/Movie has been floating around Facebook. When they aren't talking about history, they have a lot of Folies Bergere footage. I didn't know that Barbara Walters had such a strong link to Vegas! Alumni Andrea Avruskin will keep us posted when/where we can catch the full version. If you've seen it (FoBerg cast please speak up!) and have any info, please feel free to let us know! I find the title a bit depressing...

All in all, I think it's great how much press covered the main event and mostly, the show itself. As it's the last show of it's kind in North America, it's vital that we keep it alive and remind people that it's still there. We can all do our part to ensure that it'll be here for future generations of Blue Bells and Kelly Boys!
My love to you all, C
