Burlesque Francais october 2, 1999 "Burlesque as it was, in association with Grim Productions is proud to present a night of bawdy and beautiful entertainment, "Ooh-la-la! Burlesque Francais". Spend an evening transported to a time when a dance featuring ladies hiking up their skirts and displaying their drawers was considered hi-class entertainment- a time when ladies like Miss. Josephine Baker came out on stage wearing only a string of bananas around her waist, to the shock and delight of all Paris- a time when songbirds like Edith Piaf lulled audiences into a deep swoon- and a time when bombshells like Brigette Bardot whipped the public into an exotic frenzy. Enter the Paris of yesteryear in all its glory, from the delights of the Moulin Rouge to the dark glamour of the city's Cabaret underground. . See Real Live French girls, Can-Can girls all the way from the Moulin Rouge, Tessie Too-loose and her Twirling Tassels, Kitty and Pinky and their bodacious Bardot boudoir, the fabulous French feathers of Veroniqua Va-Voom, La Femme Swan and her stripping statuary, 'la Dame est la 'Tramp' the tap dancing French cutie, American girl in Paris- Betty Sue, buxomy balloon girl, Sexy sixties French Go-Go girls, the stupendous Mr. Eddie Spaghetti, and much, much more, all accompanied by the divinely Parisian sounds of Dave Arthur and his Round Table. Experience an evening of music, dance, theatre and exotica like nothing that has never been seen on this side of Atlantic. A show grander than anything you've seen before and likely will ever again."
