A stylish celebration of burlesque, past and present. Teaser invites the audience into a lush, glittering world where burlesque unfolds as both spectacle and storytelling. Anchored by a confident, charismatic MC, the show uses burlesque history as its through line, guiding the audience through different eras, norms, and aesthetics with clarity and charm.

From the striking opening, featuring a pregnant performer confidently popping balloons in the playful “era of balloons,” the show immediately establishes its commitment to empowerment, curves, and subversion of expectation. The journey continues through the 1920s prohibition era, the 1930s flapper age, and periods marked by extravagant accessories, distinctive costumes, and alluring attitudes. These transitions are easy to follow and thoughtfully framed, giving the audience both visual delight and cultural context, engaging the intellect in a way that few burlesque shows attempt.

What works particularly well is the infusion of singing and historical commentary, which elevates the performance beyond a simple revue. There’s a clear respect for burlesque’s roots: striptease, comedy, and dance woven together with wit and warmth. The performers radiate charisma. The costumes sparkle with opulence. This reinforces the show’s celebratory tone.

While some moments feel more illustrative than surprising, Teaser remains engaging, polished, and enjoyable throughout. It’s a decadent, accessible homage to burlesque that balances education with entertainment, and does so with style.
