A curvaceous woman stares directly at the audience wearing lack lingerie. She is holding a red silk behind her and has dark curly hair and olive skin with red lipstick.

A dramatic scene featuring six performers in a vintage, dimly-lit room with ornate furnishings, chandeliers, and rich, warm lighting. Each performer is dressed in dark, edgy attire with leather straps, corsets, and metallic accessories, embodying a theatrical and provocative aesthetic. One performer lounges atop a piano in a layered skirt and thigh-high boots, holding a candlelit candelabra, while others are posed dynamically around the room, some on the floor, and one upside down. The title "Wonderfully Terrible Things" is displayed in an ornate, gold font, adding a sense of mystery and allure.

A captivating scene showcasing a performer on stage in two distinct moments. On the left, she sits at a Kawai grand piano, singing passionately to an engaged audience, dressed in a voluminous, layered skirt and a corset, with a vintage aesthetic. On the right, she is elevated in the air, holding onto vibrant red aerial silks, wearing the same dramatic attire, which includes gold thigh-high boots and a corset. The title "Wonderfully Terrible Things" appears in an ornate, glowing font, adding an element of intrigue to the performance. The background is rich with warm lighting, enhancing the theatrical atmosphere.
