UPCOMING SHOWS – JUNE 2012

BALLET WITH A TWIST PRESENTS
AN INTOXICATING EVENING OF BALLET
COCKTAIL HOUR
Choreography by Marilyn Klaus
Show @ 8:00PM
Seating @ 6:30PM

In the company’s signature program, Cocktail Hour, critically acclaimed dance-maker Marilyn Klaus’s extravagant ballet-vaudeville style shakes it up with Grammy-nominated Stephen Gaboury’s jazz and classical Hip Hop remixes, and ultra-chic costumes by Catherine Zehr.

This irreverent suite of dances brings iconic American drinks to life—saluting the elegance of cocktail culture as Martini, Mai Tai, Gimlet and more spring off the menu and onto the stage. The show has seduced audiences new and seasoned, and no wonder: Huffington Post calls Klaus “a hip ballet romantic.” The New York Times calls her work “witty and fantastic.” You’ve never seen cocktails like these!

Introducing Bunny and Bianca's HOT MESS: The outrageous new Wednesday night drag revue the Village Voice calls the “Best Drag Show in New York.”

Lady Bunny has handpicked some of the city's most talented drag divas for a weekly Wednesday night extravaganza. The ladies include Bianca Del Rio (widely regarded as the quickest wit on the NYC drag scene), Milan (Rupaul Drag Race 4 favorite), Skyla Versai (the talented newcomer from Lips), Sugga Pie Koko (the comedian of the group), the live vocal styling of Epiphany and special guests each week! The 9PM show time is perfect as either a starting point or for those who prefer to make an earlier night of it mid-week. With both solo and production numbers complete with matching costumes, HOT MESS ups the ante for weekly drag reviews. Naughty comedienne Lady Bunny is moonlighting from her critically acclaimed cabaret show That Ain't No Lady! which the NY Times rave review claimed made "Book Of Mormon look like Bambi." She also appears as the Dean of Drag on RuPaul's Drag U.
