This stage production presents burlesque performance in all its colourful forms. Exotic dancing, classic wide-tied comedians, striptease and chorus girls. There is no holding back on costumes with feathers, sequins and skimpy outfits for the ladies, not forgetting the all American male stripper to balance things. This revealing stage show presents burlesque in the lively and racy way that it was originally intended. Performers include Ann Corio, Morey Amsterdam and Pinky Lee.
