curley in Chicago

Five of the 6 singers were great; the sixth so badly off pitch it hurt!

The show was also surprisingly short (45").

I left before the cast "joined the audience" for drinks . . . I prefer to retain my illusions about performers, not "buddy-up" over alcohol.

It was an extremely intimate setting, but both my boyfriend and I really enjoyed it. Enjoy food and drinks during the show, and each of the dames does a solo number and then a group medley. It's flirty and fun, and there is a vocal variety.

More Details About This Event:

The Flaming Dames, Chicago’s premier concept burlesque troupe, returns once more, seducing audiences with their all new (non-revealing) cabaret revue, ‘Torch’.  Famous for ‘taking it off’, the Dames will be ‘turning it on’ with nothing but an arsenal of sweet voices.  You’ll be lulled into a sensual trance as the ladies perform a collection of classic torch songs (in The Spot’s intimate green room) with the same entertainment and energy that have made them one of the hottest acts in town.  And once the Flaming Dames light the night on fire, you’ll leave carrying a ‘Torch’ for them.  So don’t wait -- the ladies are expecting you.
