    Jupiter, an original musical Revue now being mounted for the new world class f Hilton Resort Hotel and Casino w-S-urfers Paradise, Australia, promises to be a show that combines the substance and quality of a Broadway Revue with the opulence and glamour of a Pari si an -w^-t^^^^as Spectacular. The theme of the show is a fantasy flight of the Super interplanetary Space Ship, Jupiter, into time and space. Excitement and contrast are created by the immediate juxtaposition of various cultures and regions from this Planet and others as they might have been in specific periods of time. There is some nudity in the show, but, unlike some of the Las Vegas style shows where girls in feathers prance around mindlessly with their tops off for no apparent reason, the nudity in "Jupiter" is justified, as in the instance of landing on Venus in the year 3001 when that planet is inhabited by only the female of the species, or peeking into a French lady's boudoir in 1900 as she prepares to step out for the evening. The show will be extremely fast paced. During the 1 hour 30 minute running time, the audience will witness over 30 dazzling set changes, created by Emmy Award winner, Charles Lisanby, 185 different stunning costume designs, and 32 spectacular effects, including 40,000 lights. Producer Jim McDonald, already an Australian success story, has obtained only the very best in specialty acts to comply with the high standard of the Production. Writer, director, choreographer, Jerry Jackson, having done both Broadway and Las Vegas type shows, as well as television and film, has received numerous awards and cudos for his fine work, including a standing ovation in Paris from the Bolshoi Ballet for his "Can Can" at the Casino de Paris. Jackson is striving to transport the audience into a world of fantasy and imagination that will leave them on a high, well after the curtain has gone down on the show's last dazzling moment.
