La La Parlour @ Spiegeltent, Melb
Went with Louise (ze Flying Scribbler) to see a bunch of saucy ex-Brisbane girls ( including Tiger Lil from the Happy Sideshow Circus) do their burlesque, acrobatic cabaret schtick in the famously travelledSpiegeltent on Friday night. ‘Tarnished’ was the name of the show, and ‘La La Parlour’ the dancing girls who sprawled across the stage like tumbleweeds. And fireworks. And high-heeled Broadway kickers. When they weren’t dangling from the ceiling, climbing up curtains, contorting in all manner of stacked-up multi-limbed positions – or doing the splits onto cream-cake. Choregraphed with humour and great music selections too. Super-rad! Eat it up if they come to town.
