There's burlesque and then there's the
Suicide Girls. A group of "badass bombshells and geek goddesses," the troupe takes the art form to another level. Consider, for example, their current Blackheart Burlesque Tour that they've re-launched after a six-year hiatus.
Instructor/dancer Manwe Sauls-Addison, who's worked with world famous performers such as Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga, did the choreography and picked seven of the troupe's best dancers for the tour. The show parodies contemporary pop culture and makes fun of films/TV shows such as
Star Wars,
Orange is the New Black,
Donnie Darko and
Clockwork Orange.
Tonight's performance begins at 9 at the
Beachland Ballroom. Tickets are $20 to $105.
