  • 7PM DINNER SHOW - Filthy Lucre Burlesque Club

    US$24.00 - US$38.00 per person

    Prepaid

    4 Dec 2024 - 22 Dec 2024
    (This is a Scripted Burlesque Show, NOT A DRAG SHOW) Charles Dickens immortal classic drops its knickers and gets down to business in FILTHY LUCRE: A Burlesque Christmas Carol. Welcome to The Filthy Lucre, where the cover charge is exorbitant, the drinks are watered down, and management steals the performers' tips. What sort of money-grubbing miser would would run a "Gentleman's Club" like this? Who else but Scrooge? A stripteasing twist on Dickens' classic holiday tale, when the scantily-clad spirit of her former business partner returns from the grave, the "nudest Scrooge in history" and goes on a tassel-twirling journey with the Ghosts of Burlesque Past, Present, and Future. You know the story, but never seen it quite like this.
