The Burlesque Effect – Video Review

 

Set in 1950s Sydney, the story follows James, a man caught between mundane domesticity and the raunchy burlesque underground.


Present by: Tunks Productions
Venue: Newtown Theatre, Newtown

Thursday 21st, July 2011.

Set in 1950s Sydney, the story follows James, a man caught between mundane domesticity and the raunchy burlesque underground. The show features fantastic risqué dance numbers and solid performances by all cast members. Leads Troy Harrison and Zoe Trilsbach have great chemistry onstage. While the story occasionally gets bogged down in predictability and cliché, the sassy subject matter, snappy dialogue and burlesque dances create an engaging theatre experience.
