While “Peepshow is hardly an educational production, the revue has showed what a Spice Girl can do, and what a Broadway star can do, too – but can a Playboy bunny do it better?
Aubrey O’Day hopes so.
Audiences will soon see if the 25-year-old blonde has what it takes to perform at the same level as past and present “Peepshow” stars Melanie Brown and Shoshana Bean.
The former Danity Kane diva is set to assume the role of “Peep Diva” in the sexy Planet Hollywood production this fall.
“Aubrey is one of the sexiest entertainers in the industry today and we are thrilled to welcome her to the ‘Peepshow’ cast,” BASE Entertainment co-CEO Scott Zeiger said in a statement.
Meanwhile, it is expected that the show’s current “Bo Peep,” Holly Madison, will remain in the role for a while longer and extend her contract for an additional three months.
Unlike Madison, Bean will step aside at the end of her original three-month agreement and hand over the “Peep Diva” reins to O’Day on Sept. 14.
The incoming and outgoing “Peep Divas” have both spent time on Broadway as part of the “Hairspray” cast. Another “Hairspray” connection: “Peepshow” was created by the award-winning musical’s Tony Award-winning choreographer Jerry Mitchell.
The imminent addition of O’Day means both of the lead roles in “Peepshow” will soon be held by former Playboy models: O’Day graced the cover of Playboy this past March and Madison has appeared in the magazine several times.
Kelly Monaco, who played “Bo Peep” prior to Madison joining the cast last month, has also posed for the pinup magazine.

Catering to the young and modern crowd, Planet Hollywood is a one-stop shop for entertainment with its massive shopping mall, slew of restaurants, spacious casino and clubs.
The ambiance of the casino is retro-chic meets high-tech with black granite floors throughout and colorful LED lights throughout the space. The theme carries into the 100,000 square-foot casino with 250 flat screens topping off slot machines. The casino is also home to 87 tables, a sports book and a poker room.
There's also the Miracle Mile Shops, one Vegas' largest malls, with 140 stores including BCBG Max Azaria, bebe, Urban Outfitters and The Discovery Channel Store.
Following an afternoon of shopping, guests can satisfy their appetites at one of the gourmet restaurants in Planet Hollywood, like the non-traditional approach to steakhouses at Strip House or check out the exotic Far East motif at KOI restaurant and lounge. And if guests are still looking for more, they can spend the after hours at Privé, Triq or Krave nightclubs.
Perhaps one of the resorts biggest attractions came in March with the addition of "Peepshow." The naughty twist on the story of Little Bo Peep is modern-day spin on the run-of-the-mill Vegas topless review. The "Peepshow" stage has seen visiting celebs like Scary Spice Mel B, "Dancing with the Stars" Kelly Monaco and Playboy's Holly Madison.
