Internationally-acclaimed comedy cabaret duo The Wet Spots present 5 performances of SHINE: A Burlesque Musical at the NY International Fringe Festival. A recent winner of a Vancouver Ovation Award for “Outstanding New Work”, SHINE is a tassel-twirling original, full-book musical about an infamous burlesque theatre and the family of talented misfits who try to save it from demolition… or worse, respectability.
SHINE is directed by award-winning, NYC-based director Roger Benington. Featuring the choreography of Seattle-based burlesque star Inga Ingenue, “The Little Blonde Bomb”, and the acclaimed songwriting of cabaret duo The Wet Spots, SHINE is racy, intelligent entertainment for adults that will appeal to the same adventurous audiences drawn to productions such as Rocky Horror and Avenue Q.
SHINE celebrates the re-emerging arts of burlesque, cabaret, and variety with catchy songs, campy jokes and plenty of bump and grind. SHINE won rave reviews in Vancouver, during a two-week run in August 2009. The Georgia Straight called SHINE “A stellar example of the new burlesque, SHINE is an empowered celebration of individuality.” At its heart, SHINE is a love letter to contemporary burlesque, created by those who have lived it.
