Burlescapades! - an elegant evening of champagne and cocktails with a dazzling stage show starring some of the world's finest burlesque and cabaret entertainment.

Burlescapades! Springtime in Paris, The Voodoo Rooms, Edinburgh - 10th May 2008

Stroll beneath the perfumed blossoms of the Jardin des Tuileries and catch an intoxicating glimpse of stocking beneath silk, as Burlescapades brings you Springtime In Paris.

Get an Eiffel of our belle de jour Mamzelle Fifi, as she teases and seduces you with her exotic French un-dressing, and cherchez un homme Lucky Strikes, resplendent in beret and waving his baguette.

At sunset, let chanson Dusty Limits entertain you with torch songs and risque tales over absinthe in a dimly-lit Montmartre cafe, before he lures you down to the bright lights of Pigalle.

There, mesdames et messieurs, you will enter an exhilarating world of audacious cabaret and music from our American in Paris, the Markee de Saw, before being dazzled by the feats of escapologist extraordinaire, Chris Cross.

Your evening ends at the legendary Moulin Rouge with the exuberant high kicks of the can-can girls, Viva Misadventure and Gypsy Charms, and the breathtaking Scarlet Boudoir show of Mademoiselle Keda Breeze - truly a revolution in burlesque!

After the entertainment, dance the night away under the glittering chandeliers to vintage sounds from the 1920s to the 1950s and beyond. Enjoy the atmosphere and style of a bygone era at Scotland’s most elegant night out.

Dress code: tricoleur, Moulin Rouge, can-can girls, French maids, artists and models, Marcel Marceau, Brigitte Bardot, Nouvelle Vague, Dangerous Liaisons, Louis Quatorze, surrealists. Also glamour, vintage, retro and decadence!
