Performing regularly at historic theater venues around the city, this high-energy production showcases talented local dancers, aerialists, comedians, and fire-breathers.

Practical Info

Suggested Duration2-2.5 hours
Best TimeThis is New Orleans' premier vintage burlesque revue, appearing on select weekend nights (typically Saturday at 8:00 PM or 10:30 PM) at local theaters. Booking tickets well in advance online is essential; choosing the 10:30 PM late show promises the most high-energy, authentic NOLA theatrical nightlife vibe.
Getting ThereThe show frequently performs at the Toulouse Theatre right off the French Quarter. For Toulouse Theatre, take the Riverfront Streetcar to the Toulouse St station, followed by a 2-minute walk to the entrance. Driving is highly discouraged due to the historic district's severe parking constraints.

Travel Tips

  • This is a modern burlesque, variety, and aerial acrobatics revue tailored strictly for mature audiences (21+). Valid physical passports or driver's licenses are stringently checked by venue security at the entrance.
  • The show rotates across various local venues (such as the Toulouse Theatre). Always verify the exact theater address printed on your ticket. To secure unobstructed front-row VIP seats, arrive 45 minutes prior to doors opening.

Reviews

Positive
  • This is a premier adult entertainment spectacle beautifully blending classic burlesque, aerial acrobatics, and lavish high-energy showmanship.
  • The dancers' costumes are gorgeously ornate and luxury-tier, paired with excellent live music pacing that keeps the theater energy fully fired up.
  • The cast is brilliant at crowd work; under the host's witty guidance, the managed room vibe remains wild and festive without ever crossing into trashy.
  • The venue features clear signage, great ADA ramp layouts, and clean public facilities, within easy walking distance from major downtown hotels.
Heads up
  • Given its potent themes of mature humor, skimpy attire, and sensual dancing, it carries an R-rating and is totally banned for minor kids.
  • The entry pricing runs high, and front-row VIP interaction chairs book out instantly; casual standard tickets in the back can suffer obstructed sightlines.
  • Because of its immense popularity, pre-show bar lines stretch painfully long, causing rushed transactions and occasionally transactional service.
  • The show operates as a seasonal touring production rather than a daily permanent residency, making it easy for out-of-towners to miss due to dates.
