Monstrously seductive burlesque-infused Halloween show promises to scare the pants off you!
October 12 - 26, 2024 at Laurie Beechman Theatre
Bump and grind meets Hammer Horror in Jonny Porkpie’s bewitching burlesque play DEAD SEXY. Adapted, written and directed by Jonny Porkpie ("Filthy Lucre" "Pretençión" and "The Corpse Wore Pasties" from Hard Case Crime), this unique blend of Halloween thrills and chills and burlesque returns to Times Square after sold out Off-Broadway runs in 2015 & 2016. Performances run Saturdays October 12 & 19 at 7pm and October 26 at 9:30pm at the Laurie BeechmanTheater (inside West Bank Café at 407 West 42nd Street at Ninth Avenue). Tickets are $24 for general admission or $38 for VIP tickets that include reserved seating at front tables, available at www.SpinCycleNYC.com. Please note that there is also a $25 per person food/ drink minimum at all performances.
Glamorous ghouls, titillating terrors, and flirtatious fiends haunt the stage of diabolical Doctor’s Evil Laboratory & Cabaret, where the sinister scientist, their aberrant assistant, and a vicious intern conduct erotic experiments in striptease to reawaken a dearly departed love from the flaming depths of the Nether Regions. DEAD SEXY is a twisted and titillating tale of love, death, striptease, and everything in between starring a killer cast of frighteningly attractive, monstrously talented, disturbingly seductive burlesque stars. Never have the undead been quite so alluring.
DEAD SEXY stars Jo Weldon, Jonny Porkpie, Pinkie Special, Syn Sultress, and Tigger!, featuring Peekaboo Pointe (10/12 & 10/19) and special guests Fancy Feast (10/12), Fem Appeal (10/26), Gigi Bonbon (10/19), Mr. Gorgeous (10/19), The Maine Attraction (10/26), Miscallaneous DomTop (10/12).
