Briana Bluebell, Miss Burlesque Australia 2012, has brought to the Slide Lounge a cheeky little cabaret show with an enthusiastic cast of two of each gender. But it was more than a fairly traditional version of burlesque. (I once visited the “Follies Bergere” in Paris and after three numbers I was hanging out for the punctuating sight acts!).
No there’s more: Ms Briana has a pleasing voice and I particularly liked “Young and Beautiful”. The dancers came alive from about the fifth number with the jazz and jive duos a standout. In the second act “Judas” and “The Best of You” were memorable.
I had a good night, notwithstanding the late start and a dirty glass accompanying my beer!
Worth seeing, BLAKnGOLD played at the Slide Lounge, 41 Oxford Street, Darlinghurst on 41 Oxford Street, Darlinghurst.
