FILTHY LUCRE: A Burlesque Christmas Carol
FILTHY LUCRE: A Burlesque Christmas Carol
Welcome to The Filthy Lucre, where the cover charge is exorbitant, the drinks are watered down, and management steals the performers’ tips. What sort of money-grubbing miser would run a “Gentleman’s Club” like this? Who else but Scrooge?
When the scantily-clad spirit of her former business partner returns from the grave, the “nudest Scrooge in history” goes on a tassel-twirling journey with the Ghosts of Burlesque Past, Present, and Future. Will this haunting bump-and-grind-through-time help bitter Ebeneza see the error of her exploitative ways? Of course it will. You know the story, but you’ve never seen it quite like FILTHY LUCRE: A Burlesque Christmas Carol, a strip-teasing twist on Dickens’ classic holiday tale, making its Hudson Valley debut at Unicorn Bar this boxing day, in a concert reading featuring burlesque performances by world-famous striptease luminaries.
Presenting:
Jo Weldon as The Ghost of Classic Burlesque
Jonny Porkpie as Bob Cratchitt
Tigger! as Marley’s Ghost
Scout Durwood as Madame Scrooge
Mimi MaShuga as The Ghost of Neo-Burlesque
Miss AuroraBoobRealis as The Ghost of Burlesque Yet To Come
