DEAD SEXY Moves Off-Broadway for Halloween

By:

What drives a Mad Doctor mad? Is it sheer, unmitigated sexiness? What terrifyingly tantalizing life choices brought Dr. Johanny Porkenpie to his evil laboratory (and cabaret space) for weekly experiments in striptease? Times Square's favorite psychotic ecdysiast physician finally tells all as he attempts to bring his long-lost beloved back from the beyond, in this arousingly alarming -- and alarmingly arousing -- new play from the playwright of Pinchbottom Theatrical Burlesque ("Best Burlesque" in NYC, New York Magazine/Village Voice) written just for Halloween 2015.

"It's what you might call 'an indecent exposé'," said writer Jonny Porkpie. "Even though The Mad Doctor has haunted the stages of Times Scare since March of 2013, presenting twisted burlesque performances by top stars from around the world, we've never known the true story of his life, death, afterlife, and rise from the grave... until now."

A hilarious, horrifying, terror-filled, titillating -- and perhaps even touching -- tale of Love, Death, and everything in-between, brought to you by the the writer (and many of the award-winning international neo-burlesque superstars) of Pinchbottom's previous Off-Broadway outings, The Bawdy House and Pretençión.

Possessing The Elektra Theater for two nights only, tonight, October 23, and October 30 at 11:00pm, DEAD SEXY: THE OFF-BROADWAY PLAY digs deeper -- six feet under -- into the afterlives of the foxy fiends who haunt the stage; stars such as Burlesque Hall of Fame Miss Exotic World 2004 Dirty Martini, Author of The Burlesque Handbook Jo "Boobs" Weldon, Jonny Porkpie, and Burlesque Hall of Fame "Best Boylesque" 2006 Tigger!, with BB Heart, Boo Bess, Patrick Davis, Sizzle Dizzle. Brace yourself for a frighteningly seductive night of theater of that's equal parts blood 'n' gore -- and bump 'n' grind!
