J'Adore Burlesque

On May 27, 2010, DeLuxe Variety Entertainment presents J'Adore Burlesque, with special guest star dancers from New York City. The burlesque dancers from the "Dangerous Curves Ahead" tour will make a stop in Kansas City, to tease and please the audience during J'Adore Burlesque. J'Adore Burlesque, which is Lucky DeLuxe's newest monthly burlesque-based variety production, proudly welcomes Gigi LaFemme, Clams Casino, Minnie Tonka, and Anita Cookie to Kansas City.

The dancers are touring cross-country on their way to the Burlesque Hall Of Fame's Reunion Weekend in Las Vegas (June 4-6), making limited performance stops along the way. "I'm thrilled to be able to offer Kansas City the opportunity to experience professional burlesque performers from all over the country, as well as give exposure to hard-working, high-quality local acts that I respect and admire. These performers from New York City are iconic in the present-day burlesque industry, and it's a huge honor for me to be able to work with them." says Susanna Lee, who performs as Lucky DeLuxe, and produces J'Adore Burlesque.

J'Adore Burlesque will also feature local performers: Stella Blue (Patricia Rusconi, also stage managing), Eartha Delights, Coco L'Amour (singer Cynthia Van Roden), Dirty Dianna, and members of local troupes Burlesque Downtown Underground and Sinsations Burlesque. Doors open at 7pm, with preshow entertainment until 9pm, when the curtains open for the stage show. Tickets are $10 at the door, or $8 in advance (up to 24 hours before the show) through www.brownpapertickets.com. More information is available at www.jadoreburlesque.com.
