How Sweet It is....

Thank you to everyone who came out this weekend.

Our Valentine's Show at Jalopy was a magical night. Albert Garzon and Lex Grey performed a cabaret set as well as collaborating with Sugar Shack for the final acts of the evening. Our talented host, Mr. Albert Cadabara kept the night rolling while Legs, Sue and the fire alarm fire of burlesque: Gal Friday shimmied and shook. That venue is really a special place. If you've never been to Jalopy - you gotta check it out: www.jalopy.biz. They book the most amazing music. Next week my absolute favorite guitarist - Kruno, is playing there. And next door is a great bar: Moonshine. You can play pool, darts - hell even, grill out in the back yard.

Last night Sue and Legs had separate gigs in the East Village.

At the end of the next week, Sugar Shack will be headin north. We'll be back at our favorite haunt in the Berkshires: Club Helsinki in Great Barrington. Dinner and Burlesque - what more could you want? - two shows, 8 & 10:30. This month with Miss Astrid as host, Dr. Lukki as featured performer and the ladies who bring you the show: Legs Malone and Miss RunAround Sue. www.clubhelsinkiweb.com

The next night, Thursday March 5th - marks the one year anniversary of Anti-Mag's monthly happy hour @ Nurse Bettie (107 Norfolk St.).

Special performances each month... whose breaking it down for the anniversary? stay tuned....

Hope everyone enjoyed their valentine's.... and remember: Life is hard. Be Kind.

Sugar Shack Burlesque Announces First Production in Virginia

The New York based burlesque company, Sugar Shack Burlesque, announces it's first show in Richmond, Virginia. On March 14th at Gallery 5, Sugar Shack Burlesque will bring together the burlesque talents of both NY and VA in "Cole Porter:In the Flesh". In this cheeky tribute to one of America's best composers, Sugar Shack will bring you an evening of dancing, singing,and innuendo.

Already a staple in NYC and San Francisco, Sugar Shack has expanded in the last year to include monthly productions in the Berkshires of Massachusetts and the Palace of Wonders in Washington Dc. Last Summer, co-founder and producer Miss RunAround Sue brought burlesque to the Hamptons with a weekly show at the beautiful Sole East. Later this march, Sugar Shack has the honor of opening the International Film Festival in Bermuda. But before these ladies head down to the tropics, they'll be bringing the cheeky experience of burlesque to Gallery 5 with their Cole Porter Tribute.

Last month, Miss RunAround Sue (through her burlesque non-profit - Bleeding Hearts Burlesque) co-produced a similarly themed show at the Living Theatre in Manhattan. The Village Voice captured the show nicely. To see the slide show from the Voice, please direct your browser here: http://www.villagevoice.com/slideshow/view/235996

Sugar Shack Burlesque hopes to develop this production further this summer with a large scale production complete with a live orchestra at one of Richmond's most beautiful landmarks.


Stay tuned for more details. If you'd like more information, please don't hesitate to contact me.
