Boston Babydolls Burlesque Troupe in Unlucky in Love

Full Price:
$25.00 - $45.00
Our Price:
$12.50 - $22.50

Winners of "Best Burlesque" in 2011 from both The Boston Phoenix and The Weekly Dig, the Boston Babydolls return for the Valentine season with their romantic burlesque Unlucky in Love. It's the story of a hapless writer examining episodes from his own life as he tries to pen a self-help guide to romance. Unfortunately for him (but fortunately for the audience), what he doesn't know could fill a book. Calamities of the heart have never been so funny -- or sexy -- as they are in this burlesque story of love and misfortune. Audiences will enjoy two hours of teasing, pleasing, romance, magic and live music with lush vocals courtesy of The Amorettes. Learn More

Wish I had seen this before I saw the new show, Desir! This show was more vaudeville/burlesque than Desir. It was comprised of disparate acts with an MC - unlike Desir which told a story within a story. I liked them both but Desir is the better choice if you can only see one.

One of the best shows I've seen - and I have seen almost every Cirque du Soleil show. This show is like an R-rated Cirque du Soleil - but funnier and more impressive. Small venue makes it more personal - but expect to be crammed in! All in all, don't miss it.
