NYC: BRASSY, BAWDY, AND JUST A BIT NAUGHTY: BURLESQUE TO BROADWAY
Experience the art of the tease as critically acclaimed Quinn Lemley stars in her new hit touring production, "Burlesque to Broadway" at Brooklyn's historic MILLENNIUM THEATER (1029 Brighton Beach Avenue, Brooklyn, NY - 718-615-1500) on Friday & Saturday, May 18th & 19th, at 8:00 pm. Along with sexy sidekicks Natalie Loftin Bell and Stacey Harris - and a smoking 10-piece big band - Lemley takes audiences on a journey from the early days of underground burlesque clubs to mainstream acceptance by the Broadway establishment and beyond. This unique theatrical concert, directed by Tony Award winner Joseph Hardy, honors rule-breaking icons such as Sally Rand, Gypsy Rose Lee, and Mae West, and celebrates their ascent as they danced on the edge of the law, laid bare the double standards of the era, and fueled a movement that would influence divas for the next century. Despite its cultural relevance, this show is no history lesson. Song-and-dance fun fill the theater as the cast belts out unforgettable hits such as 'Hey Big Spender,' 'Let Me Entertain You,' and 'She's A Lady' while they dance to Merete Muenter's provocative bump-and-grind choreography. The costumes of Wendall Goings add to the experience, glittering with sequins and flowing with fans and feathers. The two-show limited engagement is also something of a tease. Immediately after, Lemley and her girls head back out on the road to continue their successful international tour.Tickets are $35-$75.
