This week the selections for cheap theatre is plenty and bountiful – so much so that it was difficult to narrow it down to just five. Considering I’ve been on a cabaret, burlesque, and music kick lately in lieu of Halloween, this week’s pickings reflect that. Though do click over to our weekly listings and browse through to find something that’ll tickle your fancy if any of these don’t suit your palette (there’s also plenty of sketch and improv comedy to be had, too).
Sexy and sinful, Les Coquettes bring top notch cabaret burlesque to Toronto’s The Revival Bar with Exhibition
I don’t need an excuse to fill with my life with sexy, sensuous and scantily clad ladies and gents, song and dance, and tongue and cheek, with dashes of aerial artistry and plenty of good humor. No excuse needed because, really, why deny yourself pleasure? That being said, Halloween has always been the best reason to indulge in anything.
And so it was with great delight that I sought out what the lovely lads and gals of Les Coquettes had to offer this time around for their spooky yearly tradition in the form of “Exhibition“. Having attended a previous performance of theirs, I had a feeling I wouldn’t be disappointed.
