LIVE FROM LEICESTER SQUARE stars the UK's rising star of burlesque, Miss Polly Rae, "the Queen of Leicester Square", and her award-winning Hurly Burly Girlys ("Best Troupe" Ministry of Burlesque Awards) and will showcase the very best international entertainers, together with the weird, the wonderful and the wildest guest artists, many of whom proved unforgettable at the West End's critcally acclaimed freakshow, "SideShow". It will be Beauty and the Beasts in the luxurious surroundings of the refurbished Leicester Square Theatre with 400 of the most comfortable seats in the West End.

LIVE FROM LEICESTER SQUARE is a delicious blend of cabaret, variety and traditional and 'neo' burlesque, with top of the bill, Miss Polly Rae adding decadent artistry to 're-imaginings' of modern classics as well as teasing naughty nuances from old favourites. What makes Polly Rae stand out in the crowd of other rising burlesque artists is her vocal ability. Most just settle for the bump and grind, but Polly, in a succession of outrageous costumes, also sings live and delivers hearty renditions of classic ballads such as Mae West's "A Guy What Takes His Time", "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps". Miss Polly Rae has featured on "The Alan Titchmarsh Show", C5 News and "The Paul O'Grady Show", and opened The Prima High Street Fashion Awards. She and has also performed regularly for Agent Provocateur.

The Master of Ceremonies is the award-winning Paul L Martin, one of the leading figures on the cabaret scene, who created and hosted "SideShow" as the Bloody Ringmaster. In 18 years as an international cabaret performer, Paul has appeared alongside Elton John, Sheryl Crow, Boy George, Matt Lucas, Michael Barrymore, Dame Edna Everage, and Cleo Laine and appeared regularly at such prestigious venues as The Hippodrome, Pigalle Club, Cafe de Paris, the Dorchester Hotel and Madame Jo-Jos.
