Burlesque, is one of the oldest forms of theatre. The political satire of the 18th century; the art form developed into an exciting collection of live performances by comedians, dancers, and artists with unique skills from the contortionists to fire eaters. Burlesque was the show for the common man which crossed over in the age of television into the variety show spawning famous shows from Ed Sullivan to the modern late night talk show.
Revivals of vintage burlesque show have become the hot trend. Live shows appear in local nightclubs, popular bars, and arts centers. Southern Lush and Lace will transform the Powerhouse Community Arts Center in Oxford, Mississippi into a swanky 1950’s cocktail lounge with live stage show for one night. Return to a time when a cocktail where served table side and live entertainment was the key to a successful nightclub. “ A Night at the Boom Boom Room” is a playful nod to Valentine’s Day holiday as the February, 12th, 2010 event is designed for couples to enjoy a playful vaudeville revue featuring a live stage show, art sale, and cash bar.
