Burlesque Through The Ages: 200 Years of Tease 19 Dec (Early Show - Doors 5:30PM)

Join us as we peer beyond the veil of time indulging in over 200 years of tease - exploring all the 'behind the red velvet curtain' showbiz history of these centuries through burlesque, dance and song! Take a titillating traipse from early burlesque of the 18th Century, Musical Hall spectacles of the 1900s, the infamous Jazz Age of the 1920s, the glamourous Golden Age of the 1930s to 1950s, the psychedelic tease and rock ‘n’ roll sleaze of the 1960s and 1970s and the nostalgic and visionary Neo-Burlesque revival of the 1990s to now. And hardly a mention of Christmas (maybe just a TINY one).

As you step into our atmospheric speakeasy cellar, you’ll be transported to another time, guided by sparkling story-telling host Mara Maraschino. Prepare to be immersed, entertained and delighted.

Life is a cabaret old chum. So, step behind the veil of time with us in the next chapter of this series show.

One night only!
