According to the release, La Maison Rose honors the strongest and sexiest elements of burlesque’s past, while adding to its continued future by drawing on a host of both veteran and up-and-coming performers who push the boundaries and definitions of the form itself, and for this Thursday’s show, things are really going to be a blast from the past.

In each performance, Lenore is also joined by Artist-in-Residence and Philly local Renée Rebelle, veteran kitten Veronica Vicious and chanteuse hostess Alyson Rodriguez Orenstein.

 

For those who love the 80s, Thursday night’s performance will be a colorful ode to the neon-clad, crimped-haired decade, and an explosively fun good time.
