I took in my first burlesque show in the Twin Cities on November 20th, 2015 at the Mixed Blood Theatre to a sold out audience. I am a big fan of classic burlesque, vintage fashion, and aerialists so CLUE presented by the Wicked Wenches Cabaret seemed like the perfect show for me to take the plunge! The show featured new performers all the way up to experienced teachers. This burlesque variety show took cue from events that happened during the murder mystery. One by one the performers were featured when their character highlighted in the murder plot.
What made this how visually different from other burlesque performances was the quantity of performers on stage at all times. The entire cast was mostly on the stage when the performers were highlighted.
My favorite performers of the night were those using aerial silks. I wonder if Steven Tyler has ever tried that with one of his scarves?

There was something for everyone with classic burlesque, drag, pole dancing, a variety of aerialists both male and female, and more.
