Blues and Burlesque
Hot off a sell-out Perth FRINGEWORLD run, winning a weekly award for Cabaret and Variety, this award-winning live music cabaret arrives from London’s West End.
What happens when a libertine jazz reprobate meets a supernova of the modern striptease? Blues and Burlesque. With original music performed live by Pete Saunders (Dexy’s Midnight Runners) and the showgirl striptease of Belle de Beauvoir (‘The Sparkling Diamond of Burlesque’ – BBC Radio), this stellar showcase celebrates the golden age of cabaret with a modern twist.
Expect live piano, soulful vocals, unforgettable tunes and laugh-out-loud comedy.
