Seven Days Says:

Get dolled up for an evening of vaudeville and vintage burlesque with dancing ladies, a troupe of satirists and a saucy house orchestra. Come an hour early for cocktails.

Notes on a Scandal

The saucy crew behind Burlington’s Spielpalast Cabaret has burlesque entertainment down to an art. Their risqué business, set in a seedy nightclub straight out of 1930s Berlin, is a wanton whirlwind of original song, dance and satire — courtesy of a master of ceremonies, a dozen dancing ladies, cigar girls and other steamy characters with detailed fictional biographies. Top it off with a swinging house orchestra, racy lingerie and a respect for history, and you have an avant-garde spectacle that manages to celebrate show biz with wit, beauty and brains.
