DICK JENSEN - ALOHA HAWAII AT THE LANDMARK THEATRE (SHOW PROGRAM, 1971)



This is a show program about "Aloha Hawaii" which was staged at the Landmark Hotel in the Landmark Theatre, Las Vegas, Nevada, from July to November 1971.

The show featured Dick Jensen as the main act along with a cast of 40 actors and dancers involved in reconstructing historical and mythological episodes associated with and/or evoked by the exotic Hawaiian Islands.

During the years the film industry has often used the Landmark Hotel as a set. The most memorable scene involving the building is probably its destruction in Mars Attacks! by Tim Burton; for this purpose the real demolition was filmed and used in the movie. A video about "The Death of the Landmark Hotel" is available here.



The complete brochure is available in PDF format, please have a look at the comments for the download link.
