A clandestine French cabaret, with live music, burlesque and variety acts, followed by late-night dancing and lounging in the softly-lit loft, absinthe and other special libations at the bar, and kissing on the sprawling roof. A soft opening of our new yet-to-be-named arts space, and a celebration of our 9th Birthday.
Featuring:
Django Reinhardt-style gypsy jazz by LES Hot Club
French chanteuse stylings of Maggie Dobbins
Special guest Karen LeBlanc on musical saw
Classic can can by The Love Show dancers
Risqué burlesque by glamorous Beelzebabe, gender-bending LeRoi Prince, and daring Rococo Caine
Hosted by dashing & dangerous magician Eric Walton
Nouvelle chanson to electro-swing mix by DJ Poodlecannon
Love-cast astrology by George Courtney
Love & compatibility tarot readings by Marcy Currier
Live drawing by Yao Xiao
