"
Don't call us just magicians or conjurers--storytellers would be just right."
I believe it is a bit of an exaggeration to describe Siegfried and Roy as "storytellers"; but their nightly act in the Siegfried & Roy Theatre at The Mirage in Las Vegas presents much more than just magic and disappearing tigers. The show, which indeed features a great deal of splendid magic and fantastic animals, can best be described as a flashy display of Las Vegas grandeur. It is mostly about dancers and acrobats and over-the-top costumes while the two magicians battle dragons and disappear villains (always played by leading lady Lynette Chappell) and escape deathtraps.
However, these two German immigrants devote most of their time and energy to the preservation of endangered species, primarily the royal white tigers featured in the show. They have constructed a Jungle Palace in Las Vegas where they live together with several species of endangered animals, including royal white tigers, heterozygous gold tigers, and white lions. They have also created a nearby Secret Garden, where tourists can visit the animals in their home.
