Description

Celebrate Valentine's week with the biggest name in burlesque since Gypsy Rose Lee. Glamour icon Dita Von Teese performs her latest and most luxe show, Burlesque: Strip, Strip Hooray, at the House of Blues for four nights. This dazzling 90-minute revue features lavish sets and costumes and four of Dita's most jaw-dropping performances. Known for entertaining inside an oversized martini glass, Dita works with her newest and most decadent prop yet: an Art Deco-style glass emblazoned with over a quarter of a million Swarovski crystals. Also included in the show: Dita's "Rhinestone Cowgirl" set, spinnin' spurs, Christian Louboutin cowboy boots and all. Dita invited several other top burlesque performers to join Strip Strip Hooray: seductress Dirty Martini, crowned Miss Exotic World in 2004; international star Perle Noire, known as the second coming of Josephine Baker; Lady Nikolska of the famed Crazy Horse in Paris; self-described “roguish operatic dandy” Prince Poppycock; and Duke Lafayette with his prop, a golden mannequin leg he calls Desiree. It’s certain to be a provocative evening of sophisticated titillation.
