ER Hot Picks: Cabaret New Burlesque
You’ve seen them in Mathieu Amalric’s acclaimed film On Tour, delivering some of the most inventive burlesque acts ever captured on celluloid. Now you can see Dirty Martini, Julie Atlas Muz, Mimi Le Mieux, Kitten on the Keys, Evie Louvelle and Roky Roulette strut their stuff live. In London.
Cabaret New Burlesque features the same cast of burlesque performers from the film, in a live theatrical experience already seen in Paris during the 2010 holiday season. Why should the French have all the fun? Well, they shouldn’t. And they won’t.
Whether you call it neo-burlesque or new burlesque, this wild revue is a rare opportunity to catch a cross section of top names in the genre. Expect shameless routines of biting satire, questionable taste and shameless hilarity.
Cabaret New Burlesque. Charing Cross Theatre at the Arches, London. 11, 12 and 13 October, 22:00. £22.50. cabaretsnewburlesque.com. Buy tickets here.
