This may be the best show I have ever seen run entirely by a 12 year old stage hand. Honestly...

Diamond Tooth Gerties is the FIRST Canadian casino. For those of you who have never heard of this wonderful place, please do yourself a favor and Google that sh*t. Located in the heart of Dawson City, Diamond Tooth Gerties is a rare specimen amongst us all.

Wiki: "Diamond Tooth Gertie's Gambling Hall is a casino in Dawson City, Yukon, Canada. It was first opened in 1971 by the Klondike Visitors Association, making it Canada's oldest casino. Gertie's, as it is colloquially known, as well as most of Dawson City is reminiscent of the area's Klondike Gold Rush history. Patrons are treated to a daily vaudeville show inspired by one of Dawson's most famous dance hall stars from the Gold Rush era, Gertie Lovejoy, who had a diamond between her two front teeth."
