Siegfried and Roy are a Las Vegas institution, but have been absent from the stage for five years following a gruesome tiger attack. Siegfried and Roy agreed to unite for a single performance to benefit the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health.
On Saturday, the Siegfried and Roy benefit performance was filmed at the Bellagio. It will air on March 6 in a "20/20" one-hour special. The 15-minute Siegfried and Roy performance is said to consist of only one stunt, and its host, Maureen Peckman of the Keep Memory Alive Foundation, says that she is sworn to secrecy.
