Flushed with success, now entering its fourth fabulous year, the world’s original touring burlesque spectacular An Evening Of Burlesque is about to hit The Coliseum Theatre Aberdare, on Thursday 20 March at 8.00pm. Officially Britain’s biggest burlesque extravaganza – a quarter of a million people have now seen this show – An Evening of Burlesque is responsible for exposing the cream of the West End of London’s thriving burlesque scene to the world. Not only has the ever-so-cheeky production revealed the secrets of the art of burlesque to delighted audiences across the UK, it has also thrilled theatregoers at the swishest venues throughout Europe as well. From Milan to Zurich, St Petersburg to Minsk, Leipzig to Verona, Dresden to Riga, Padova to Dessau the reaction has been the same – absolutely incredible, says show producer Michael Taylor. “Nothing is lost in translation,” says Michael. “An Evening of Burlesque’s content – sparkling glamour, physical humour and a dynamic score – are appreciated in any language.” An Evening of Burlesque features corsets, killer heels and stockings aplenty – and that’s just the theatregoers who come to see the show! “For a spectacle that sparkles from its elaborately-decorated headdresses to its immaculately varnished toes,” says Michael, “it might not come as a complete surprise that audiences are predominantly female. Also, we’re pleased to report that, with a prize for the best-dressed member of the audience, theatregoers revel in dressing up for the occasion!” The show itself sparkles with couture costumes recalling the golden eras of burlesque and claims to be the most glamorous show on tour. Its success is built on a combination of sultry vocals, breathtaking choreography, mischief, magic, frivolity and fun, and is strictly for over 18’s only. “It’s all tease, no sleaze,” says Michael. “The show combines musical and theatrical parody, cutting-edge variety, magic, comedy and dance with the art of striptease.” Michael says he is proud to be bringing variety back to the theatre, claiming An Evening of Burlesque is the slickest, wickedly wittiest, most delightfully choreographed cabaret spectacular of the year. “Dress up and come to the cabaret,” he says. Tickets cost £16.50 and are available from the Box Office on 08000 147 111 or book online @ www.rct-arts.co.uk |
