Hotsy Totsy Burlesque Presents A Tribute To Stanley Kubrick At The Slipper Room

In 1966, Doctor Strangelove's bunker became a reality! In fact, people have been living there for almost 50 years thinking that the world above had been destroyed. About a year ago, they discovered that they had been misinformed. They are in the process of preparing to re-integrate with those of us top-world, but it's a process. Cherry Pitz and Handsome Brad have been commissioned as an artists in residence to help them express their feelings about the transition - through the medium of dance. Today is a show that is the culmination of the work they have done, the question is why is that all the acts seem to be pretty dark - in fact, they all seem to be based on the films of Stanley Kubrick.

Stanley Kubrick is frequently cited as one of the greatest and most influential directors in cinematic history. His films, which are mostly adaptations of novels or short stories, cover a wide range of genres, and are noted for their realism, dark humor, unique cinematography, extensive set designs, and evocative use of music. The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Spartacus, A Clockwork Orange, Lolita, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Dr. Strangelove... his work is just ripe for a burlesque tribute!

Hosted by Cherry Pitz and Handsome Brad with performances by Brief Sweat, Candy Apples, Jennifer Kovacs, Matt Knife, Rosie Cheeks & Velvetina Taylor, with Venatrix keeping everything neat and tidy.

Ten years ago, Cherry Pitz and Joe the Shark partnered up to produce Hotsy Totsy Burlesque and it's been a fabulous ride! We play to often sold-out shows and our dedicated fans gleefully follow the soap opera that is Hotsy Totsy often declaring after each performance, "That was best show you folks have ever done!" As performers and writers we have grown as a troupe and as friends and are happy to move into our 11th year looking forward to the rhinestones, glitter and mayhem the next 10 years shall bring!

Every month you are invited to The Home For Wayward Girls and Fallen Women. The residents of the home need money to keep their hotel open and to buy G-strings and glitter. Sadly, the shows have had their technical difficulties and in the past they have had to combat Daleks, Darth Vader, The Borg, Zombies, Network Censors, Evil from other dimensions and He Who Should Not Be Named! The ladies promise you beautiful, clothing-averse women, lots of laughs, spinning tassels, and flying underpants. So join us for Hotsy Totsy Burlesque at The Home For Wayward Girls and Fallen Women where the motto is "We've fallen, we can't get up, and we like it that way!
