We saw Dita von Teese and ... wow.
May. 9th, 2018 03:43 pmSo much wow. So much to unpack. Normally I'd wait until I had a more coherent response to things, but I have so many reactions to this show I want to start writing them out now and trust they'll organize themselves as I go.
tl;dr - this is exactly what you expect to get. It's a modern burlesque show, headed by the stunning and gorgeous Ms von Teese. Her athleticism is on display every time she's on stage. She did basically the entire first number en pointe. I kept looking to see what heels she was wearing, but no. To say she's "fit" is really to understate things. Costumes and set pieces were also excellent, about which more later - generally A/A+ production values throughout the show.
( queering the burlesque )
( the rest of the crew )
( I'm not worthy of sets like that )
Finally, I went to this show in a very bad mood. Nothing specific, just the particular set of brain weasels where no matter what comes to mind I can't avoid seeing it in the worst possible light. I would never have thought of this as an antidote to that particular mental state and it's too rare to be a practical cure, but damn, the weasels got nothing on Dita von Teese doing a bridge on the rim of a human-sized martini glass.
