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

The event was just okay. I expected more performance and less chit chat. And two of the performers were only so so.Written on Feb 08 2008

Description
Travel back in time for a taste of early 20th-century entertainment. Houdini devotée Bob Friedhoffer opens up with a selection of Houdini’s feats including the famous “Strait-Jacket” escape, followed by a conversation with Houdini experts George Schindler and Kenneth Silverman. The finale will be spectacular, as Schindler, whose magic made Woody Allen’s mother disappear in the film Oedipus Wrecks, performs a special feat. A reception and “Close-up Magic” tables will follow the stage show in the Great Hall.
Bob Friedhoffer is a magician, educator, and the author of a series of books about science and magic. George Schindler is a professional magician and comedian. He is the author of Magic with Everyday Objects. Kenneth Silverman is a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer and the author of Houdini!!!: The Career of Erich Weiss.
