MADAME TUSSAUDS WELCOMES JUSTIN BIEBER WAX FIGURE AND UNVEILS WINNING T-SHIRT DESIGNED BY THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF LAS VEGAS
Last Night (Wednesday, Jan. 25), Madame Tussauds Las Vegas located at The Venetian celebrated the arrival of a Justin Bieber wax figure and unveiled a Bieber-inspired t-shirt designed by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Las Vegas (B&GCLV).
Bieber’s figure is available for visitors to interact with until March 4 before returning to its home at Madame Tussauds New York. The figure, capturing Bieber’s signature look during his rise to fame in 2010, is posed in a standing position with his hands tucked coyly in his pockets. He is dressed in a black vest by Will-i-am and Balenciaga pants. Bieber was an enthusiastic participant in the creation of his wax figure, spending time with a team of Madame Tussauds studio artists for four months.
In honor of the teen sensation’s wax figure arriving in Las Vegas, B&GCLV held a t-shirt design contest. The winning design, created by the kids at the Ralph and Betty Engelstad Clubhouse, will be displayed next to Bieber’s figure through March 4. Several kids from the club were present to see Bieber’s figure unveiled as well as receive shirts donning their winning design. During the event, DJ M1one spun music including some of Beiber’s greatest hits and seven dancers wearing the winning shirt performed a choreographed number leading up to the wax figure unveiling. The dancers included JBoogie, a dancer from Bieber’s “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” music video and six dancers from the Tunay Ink Dance Studio.
i ♥ burgers catered the event and will soon announce a burger special to accompany the wax figure’s stay at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas. RetroBakery also provided cupcakes for attendees.
