Maple Rose is honoured to announce that BURLESQUE MELBOURNE IS BACK!
April 13-16 at Gasworks Arts Park
Starred and Choreographed by Maple Rose, this amazing new production showcasing the amazing talent of Melbourne’s Top Burlesque Couturier and the showgirls she dresses.
SHIMMERY COUTURE IS STEPPING INTO THE SPOTLIGHT WITH THEIR DEBUT PRODUCTION
'BURLESQUE MELBOURNE'.
"WE ARE SO PROUD OF OUR SHOW AND CANNOT WAIT TO WELCOME YOU INTO THE WORLD OF SHIMMERY."
Shimmery invites you to Melbourne's most glamorous night out. thousands of rhinestones, over one hundred exclusive costumes, twenty never-before-seen burlesque routines, fifteen fabulous performers and one Shimmery vision... to entertain you!
You will be whisked away into a world of vintage tease, in a sparkling atmosphere with costuming of pure opulence. this is set to be an unforgettable experience with burlesque acts you won't find anywhere else in the world!
In a cheeky tribute to the history of Shimmery Couture, the show follows the life of Lady Shimmery; an artist and designer who finds herself immersed in costuming for cabaret.
The story begins in Lady Shimmery's workroom, inspired by the romance of old-fashioned dressing rooms. the stage adorned with sewing machines, dressing tables and mirrors... the costumes glistening with rhinestones, feathers and tassels! you are then swept into the second half of the show, into a vintage french garden with parasols, park benches, fountains and painters. the show is set in the City of Paris, which has been a main influence in lady shimmery's life and art, and the place she first fell in love with the Art of Burlesque.
