About this event
Bodacious Burlesque is bringing the heat to Dorothy's underground speakeasy with a night of sultry performances that celebrate confidence, curves, and the art of the tease. This is burlesque that knows how to have fun — expect theatrical flair, live entertainment that commands the room, and a crowd that gets it. The intimate setting of Dorothy's retro basement space is the perfect backdrop for the kind of show that reminds you why live performance hits different. Thursday at 6pm, doors open for an evening that's equal parts sexy, playful, and unapologetically queer.
Featuring: Bodacious Burlesque
