Not My Cup of Tea
I have seen many good Burlesque shows. This was not one of them. Dancing was poor, it was not titilating, it was not bawdy, it was not burlesque. The "narrators" were using cue cards and kept forgetting their lines. Using gaps in the performance as an opportunity to preach about the injustice of the treatment of the non-straight community was off putting. Not because they were wrong but they are preaching to the wrong audience.
