The show is a crazy cabaret with 8 wild acts that pay homage to the comedy, music, and dance of the old time Burly-Qs, as well as the new style burlesque that has been popularized in clubs from coast to coast. All performed by six 36 inch anthropomorphic puppets. It’s like the Muppets meet Minsky’s. Due to the unique nature of the show combined with the sudden surge of interest in old time burlesque and vaudeville shows, this performance will appeal to a wide variety people from 18 to 80.

A year in the making, the show was funded through a substantial performing arts grant from the Creative Capital Foundation in New York City. The performance is a mixture of western Rod Puppetry and Japanese style Bunraku where Mimi's puppeteers are in plain sight, dressed in black. It takes two to three puppeteers to put the dancers through their paces so the audience has the opportunity to see the teamwork and fluid movement it takes to bring each character to life. I feel this style makes the experience not only visually entertaining but enlightening as well.

After the show select audience members will be invited up to (with the help of our puppeteers) put a puppet through the various moves of their routine…
