Next up: the Jacksons

Here I am with my co-producers, Anita Cookie and Clams Casino, the two of them done up as early Madonna for the opening number of Borderline Burlesque, mere minutes before we took the stage. Everyone in the cast brought their A-game, the audience had a blast, and it was another great night.

Don't go for second best, baby!

Tonight!

In the midnight hour, I can feel your power

Ok, so Friday is Halloween and you have crazy party plans, but you have all day Saturday to catch up on your rest, because Saturday at midnight you need to be at the Zipper Factory Theater for Borderline Burlesque! And here's why you really have no excuse! This weekend is Daylight Savings time! Fall back into fall, baby! That's an extra hour of sleep! Ok, we'll see you at the show.

I'm getting a warm feeling inside

...that our show Borderline Burlesque: Midnight Madonna Madness is going to be a truly amazing night. Anita Cookie singing Like A Prayer. Clams Casino is embodying Ray of Light. Creamy Stevens in a special pre-election, one-time-only number to Papa Don't Preach. Delirium Tremens does Material Girl. Dirty Martini is Like a Virgin. Little Brooklyn is Crazy For You. Ruby Valentine is singing Sooner of Later. And Trixie Little and the Evil Hate Monkey in an S&M-tinged trapeze homage to Justify My Love. Plus, Kipps Ahoy and La Maia will be the most adorable go-go team ever. Anita and Clams take on Madonna's evolution in the opening duet, and the closing number will blow your mind. How can you miss this show? (readers outside the tri-state area exempt from guilt.)

Madonna, please come to our show!

I'm alright, don't nobody worry about me

I know I already told you all to come out to Coney for AM GOLD tonight, but have you been outside? It's a perfect late summer day. And there's a soft rock bonus: Huey Lewis is playing a free show next to the aquarium. How can you stay home?

Borderline Burlesque: Midnight Madonna Madness!

This is months away, but I am so psyched and as of today we have the whole cast set, everyone is really enthusiastic and I'm already looking forward to the show. Here's just a teaser: Anita Cookie, Clams Casino and Neil O'Fortune present Borderline Burlesque, Midnight Madonna Madness! November 1st, midnight, at the Zipper Factory Theatre. Co-hosted by Anita, Neil and Clams and starring: Creamy Stevens, Delirium Tremens, Dirty Martini, Little Brooklyn, Ruby Valentine and Tigger! Hell yes!
