A metal-soundtracked burlesque and go-go roulette show with dance, costume and theatrics at Lion's Lair.
Booty in the Breakdown hits Lion's Lair on Saturday, October 10, for a night that puts burlesque and go-go to a metal soundtrack. It's a production by Alabastard Productions, and the whole thing is built around a specific kind of surprise: none of the performers know what songs they'll be dancing to until the music actually starts. The playlist doesn't stick to metal, either—it mixes in emo and punk, so the mood shifts as the set goes on.
Each number runs about twelve minutes, and the dancers make it up as they go, which they describe as being in the spirit of a grungy 90s metal strip club. That improvisational side is the core of the show—since they're working without a rehearsal for the specific songs, you're seeing them react to the music in real time rather than walking through a choreographed routine. Tipping is strongly encouraged, and the show is 21+.
The lineup features the Blassphemy! metal go-go burlesque troupe, with co-producers and lead booty shakers Cassy Cyanide and Alabaster leading the way. They're the ones steering the ship, and the rest of the troupe fills out the set with dance, costume, and theatrics.
