Over the course of nearly half a century, Siegfried & Roy performed 30,000 shows for 50 million people and generated well over $1 billion in ticket sales. Although the German-born illusionists and pop culture icons were mega-famous, much about their private lives, eccentric public personae, and tragic final show remained shrouded in mystery…until now. Emmy®-winning filmmaker and journalist Steven Leckart, in his very first podcast, takes you behind the velvet curtain to reveal shocking moments, surprising details, and hidden truths about two men who were lionized by millions of fans, lampooned by the media, criticized by animal welfare advocates, and endlessly scrutinized by the public.

Very good

Reap what you sow!
How ironic that they worked at the Mirage. They’re entire life was a mirage. It was obvious that they were gay. Nobody was fooled. My worry was always about the animals. As far as not taking care of their injured crew members, that’s a sin. Those injured and their families should have been set for life. I have no sympathy and no respect for these two. I enjoyed the podcast though…thank you for showing us the dark under belly of their mirage!
Binge it!
Really well reported and produced show…sadly never got to see the Siegfried & Roy show but did run into Siegfried once at the Secret Garden. This show does an amazing job at telling their wild story from start to finish while also shedding more light on the tragic accident that brought everything to a close. Shout out to one of the BEST podcast theme songs I’ve ever heard as well!!
