Fresh from their popular Queen tribute 'A Night At the Opera', Ivy Temptress and The After Dusk Darlings (Calypso D'Light, Madame Demi Diva, and Delza Skye) – bring you Burlywood, at The Sewing Room. It's a lively burlesque accolade to cinema classics from Citizen Kane and Breakfast at Tiffany's to Barbarella and Attack of the 50 Foot Woman… okay, make that CULT cinema classics. But regardless of the quality of the movies that inspired them, all of the acts – mostly by Perth locals, with two performers from Adelaide – are enormously entertaining.

A charming Mistress of Ceremonies introduces the show before it opens with a Marilyn Monroe impression for those of us who like it hot, followed by a female James Bond (shaking, not stirred). Barbarella uses pieces of her costume to MacGyver together a flying saucer. Charles Foster Kane runs for governor in a weirdly timely sketch. The Joker strips out of Arkham Asylum stripes and slips into something presumably more comfortable. We're also treated to a delightful Holly Golightly, a twisted twisting teasing tassel-twirling Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction and a marvelous Morticia Addams, before a fan-dancing fifty foot woman finds that neither her pasties nor her fans have matched her phenomenal growth.

The Uma Thurman and Audrey Hepburn impersonations were pitch-perfect, and the Barbarella and Marilyn extremely good, though I'm not sure that Heath Ledger, Orson Welles or Sean Connery would have recognized themselves.

No matter; it's all good irreverent fun even if you're not a cult movie enthusiast, and the audience applauded loudly every time a performer removed a glove, a hair extension or a pair of sunglasses, let alone a dress or a corset.

It's only showing this Friday and Saturday night (January 22nd and 23rd), so try to see it while you can because I'm pretty sure it's not coming to Netflix.
