Back by very popular demand after eight sell-out runs and counting, this burlesque and cabaret favourite is strutting back onto the stage with a wink and a nod. Expect a glitter-splashed “best of” bash, where brilliant local scene-stealers share the spotlight with jaw-dropping international stars. There’ll be teasing, tassels, and just the right amount of mischief. Add in laugh-out-loud comedy, spellbinding magic, big show tunes and moments that’ll have you cheering long after show is over. 'This is EXACTLY how burlesque should be done' ***** (One4Review.co.uk).
