At its heart is Miss Kitty LeRoy – madam, gunslinger, heartbreaker – your dealer of destiny. Played by Faye Tozer, Kitty burns bright in this true tale of risk, rebellion and revenge. With Old West drama, showstopping performance, and high-stakes spectacle, DIAMONDS and DUST is a dazzling fusion of fantasy and femme power. Dita Von Teese graces the stage as Lady Luck for select performances; but her signature style haunts every moment.
