Little Egypt came out struttin’ wearin’ nothin’ but a button and a bow…when she did her special number on the zebra skin I thought she’d stop the show…
With a cast of Sydney’s sexiest musicians, a bump ‘n’ grind of burlesque beauties, and a scorching soundtrack straight from the west coast of 1950s USA, Little Egypt’s Burlesque is the excuse Sydney’s been looking for to truly let its hair down.
The aim of creative director Lucian McGuiness is for the audience to truly imbibe the experience – to feel like they awoke in Jerry Leiber’s body in an LA club in 1952, watching Big Mama Thornton sing, surrounded by his buddies, whiskey in hand. Steering clear of proscriptive musical and theatrical experiences, the show has been hand crafted with the intention of breaking down the invisible fourth wall that so often exists between performers and the audience. Songs are chosen for their ability to inspire the most powerful performances – Little Egypt’s Burlesque is as much of a revelation for the cast of characters making and interpreting the music as for those experiencing it. Choreography and physical theatre add to the impact, giving the audience permission to be as involved as they long to be, and the performers the chance to revel in the inherent sensuality of the music.
