The Tropicana Holiday is a striptease revue starring Jayne Mansfield. It was launched in February 1958 under a four weeks contract which was extended to eight.[1][2][3] The opening night raised $20,000.00 for March of Dimes ($164,037 in 2016 dollars[4]). Mansfield received $25,000.00 per week for her performance as Trixie Divoon in the show ($205,046 in 2016 dollars[4]).[5][6][7] The show was produced by Monte Proser and stage managed by Earl Barton. Nat Brandwynne and Orchestra played to original music by Gordon Jenkins. Glen Holse designed the set.[8] Mansfield's last nightclub act French Dressing was at Latin Quarter in New York in 1966.[9] It was a modified version of the Tropicana show, and ran for six weeks with fair success.[10]
