A scintillating night out of sparkling entertainment, the UK’s longest-running Burlesque show is back touring the nation and it’s bigger than ever.
The producers of An Evening of Burlesque describe the show as “a good old-fashioned variety show that blends stylish cabaret, circus and burlesque” and its UK tour comes to Towngate Theatre on Friday 30 September.
“It’s time to ‘roll up, roll up’ for an extravaganza of glitz and glamour,” says James Taylor or Entertainers, the same theatre production company that has brought smash hits The Magic of Motown, Lost in Music, Fastlove, The Rocket Man and Thank You to the Music to the stage over the past 17 years.
James says that An Evening of Burlesque has experienced a huge resurgence in popularity following the pandemic.
“I think the country as a whole needs a night out where they can leave all their worries at the door and come and laugh, sing along and generally have a really great time – and An Evening of Burlesque just so happens to fit that bill perfectly.
“An Evening of Burlesque takes its roots from the art form that was hugely popular during Victorian times which poked fun at the classics.”
The production bills itself as the variety show for the 21st Century.
“Expect an extravganza of glitz and glamour featuring feathers and fabulous costumes but, most of all, fun,” promises James. “The production is back on tour and, this year, it’s bigger than ever.”
An Evening of Burlesque promises to light up theatregoers’ senses, featuring “world-class entertainers and stars of the stage and screen”.
“It picks from the finest selection of specialty artistes, cabaret and circus stars, comedians and champagne showgirls,” says James. “How many shows can boast all of that in one evening?”
From 7:30pm on Friday, September 30, ticket purchasers are advised to expect the unexpected as the clock strikes “cocktails and cabaret o’clock”.
