    THEO AND HELGA DEBUT IN STARDUST SPECTACULAR LAS VEGAS?╟÷The exciting ice skating artistry of Theo and Helga will be one of the outstanding features of the all-new 10th edition of Lido de Paris, premiering Dec. 28 in the Cafe Continental of the Stardust Hotel. Having already captivated audiences throughout Europe, the team will make its Las Vegas debut in the new Lido show. Audiences in the Cafe Continental will be awe-struck as they see Theo and Helga suddenly emerge from below stage level, already skating on a large ice rink. The six giant hydraulic elevators below the huge stage make it possible to transform the floor into a winter wonderland in a matter of seconds. Spectacular transformations are the rule instead of the exception in the 10th edition of the Lido, with spectacular scenery changing the stage from a luxury cruise ship to an Oriental garden, a women's prison to a medieval castle and then to a Parisian high-fashion street during each performance. The Lido, now in its 15th year at the Stardust, holds all entertainment attendance records in Las Vegas, with more than 10 million visitors having marvelled at the lavish extravaganza. -35-
