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 run a “Gentleman’s Club” like this? Who else but Scrooge? And so she does, in FILTHY LUCRE: A Burlesque Christmas Carol, 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” (NY Times) goes on a tassel-twirling journey with the Ghosts of Burlesque Past, Present, and Future. Will this haunting bump-and-grind-through-time help bitter Ebeneza see the error of her exploitative ways? Of course, it will. You know the story, but you’ve never seen it quite like this.
