A menage a Trois brings together a troupe of six performers in what it describes as a night of acrobatics, provocative cabaret and classic burlesque. You find yourself stepping into a lustful world of chaos and beauty. 

Starting and carrying the show, the leading man, Mike Mayhem serenaded the crowd with his beautifully authentic voice with arousing and suggestive lyrics and well-known, beautifully timed songs that matched the performer's dances and acrobatic acts. 

The Champagne Showgirls (and boy) are stunning to watch, with a mix of cabaret and burlesque dancing and aerial acts intertwined amongst these sequences. Every time someone goes airborne, it's mesmerising and only makes you wish you could do the same. Considering the space available to the performers in these aerial acts, their performance and precision were flawless, making these complex stunts seem effortless. 

Of course, it wouldn't be a show without the music and the lighting, both of which were exceptional throughout, with Mike Mayhem leading the charge. The lighting and the music played a major role in determining the tone of each sequence and whether it was going to be a calmer and more flirtatious dance or a more bold and passionate number. The lighting and music accentuated the tone, theme, and atmosphere was a great element and really connected you into everything going on onstage, making the most of the tight and intimate venue.

Gorgeous dances with tantalising stunts intertwined, the performers have a strong talent in emphasising the extraordinary things their bodies can do. From dancing with fire and hanging from ribbons in the air to the highlighted arousing menage a trois the show is known for, you are in for a provocatively suggestive night of indulgence. 

Make sure you get to the show early to grab yourself a good seated spot.
