THE biggest burlesque stars from around the world are set to come together to perform live on the Black Country stage.
An Evening of Burlesque comes to Wolverhampton’s Grand Theatre next Saturday (October 17), with the production unveiling a brand-new, spectacular stage show for 2015.
Among the array of talent brought together for the production’s nationwide tour are the very best performers drawn from five continents of the world.
Michael Taylor, show producer, said: “For its fifth year An Evening of Burlesque goes international.
“The set list can include strutting Vegas showgirls in all their finery, a tutu too funny take on Russia’s Bolshoi Ballet, going nuts on Brazil’s Copacabana beach, a roaring (with laughter) twenties tribute to America’s Great Gatsby and international intrigue thanks to a James Bond finale, featuring a giant Martini glass glamorously garnished by a splashing Bond Girl.
“From Milan to Zurich, St Petersburg to Minsk, Leipzig to Verona, the reaction has been the same – absolutely incredible.”
For over-18s only, the show’s success is built on a combination of sultry vocals, breath-taking choreography, mischief, magic, frivolity and fun.
Michael added: “It’s all tease, no sleaze. The show combines musical and theatrical parody, cutting-edge variety, magic, comedy and dance with the art of striptease.
“Now it’s time to put all that uncovered talent together in a brand-new spectacular featuring a truly international flavour.”
Tickets for the performance, starting at 7.30pm, are available from grandtheatre.co.uk, or by calling the box office on 01902 429212.
