Saturday night's 8 p.m. performance of Peepshow played to an audience one might describe as "pitiful." If the auditorium was even half-full, I'll eat my hat. Planet Hollywood has got to be beseeching the heavens that the curiosity/trainwreck factor of adding Holly Madison will get bums in the seats and that Shoshana Bean will keep them coming back. We're talking wing + prayer, folks.
Rump faction: Mel B. with the star of Peepshow.
If you've not seen "original cast" Peepshow, I'll confine myself for now to two observations: A) it's a 75-minute tribute to Mel B.'s derriere — which is admittedly spectacular — and; B) Kelly Monaco has the easiest paycheck in show business. Her once — and future? — General Hospital costar Nancy Lee Grahn was sitting in front of us.
As star sightings go, that wasn't quite up there with Rita Rudner taking in Sunday night's performance of Patti LuPone: The Gypsy in My Soul at The Orleans. If a meteorite had, God forbid, fallen on the Orleans Showroom, Las Vegas' gay community would have been annihilated. The same projectile could strike Peepshow and miss all four spectators in attendance.
