This evening will be taking inspiration from the musical "Chicago". The acclaimed Moonglow Cabaret troupe from Beijing are bringing us a night of music, dance, and laughter.

Set at the end of the American Prohibition, this show is a unique recreation of the early 1930s entertainment, from music and dance style, to costumes and hairdos. During this show the audience can see live the charm of the vintage Hollywood glamour made famous by Greta Garbo, Ginger Rogers, Marlene Dietrich and other silver screen sirens. The Moonglow ladies will perform jazz and burlesque acts that intend to take you on a journey depicting the struggles that the showgirls faced during the Great Depression, and the struggle of women then and now finding their identity and a new place in society.

 

This unique experience is not to missed. Get your tickets early!

 

 

When going to see "Moonglow Cabaret 1930" you can surely expect extravagant costumes true to the 1930s fashion, showgirls, feathers, sparkles, and the highlight burlesque performances by our vedettes.

 

 

A vedette is the main female artist of a cabaret / revue show, often specializing in burlesque. Generally a vedette is a woman with physical presence, personality and charisma that captivates the public. In addition to their highlight act (usually solo), they would often appear in group dances, surrounded by starlets and showgirls. One of the most known burlesque vedettes today is Dita Von Teese.

 

 

Moonglow Cabaret 1930 is starring 5 amazing performers, each presenting their special act in one of the sets.

 

 

 

The fabulous Miss Diana Golde will leave you in awe as she dances around the stage in a shimmering lace gown, with a glowing golden moon at the tips of her fingers! This act and the costume are inspired by the Ziegfeld girls of the decade, and their iconic elegance.

 

 

The rising star of Chinese burlesque Miss Scarlet Manhattan will indulge all the fans of “Chicago” with her new dazzling act inspired by that musical and film. Not only will you get to see her version of “Roxie”, but also the all-time favorite “All That Jazz”!

 

 

Every cabaret show has to have an exotic dance act, and Miss Liwa la Fleur has just what it takes – a gorgeous oriental feather fan dance, the classic act made famous by Sally Rand and Noel Toy. This act combined aesthetics of Anna May Wong’s vintage films, and 1930s Chinese burlesque performers and showgirls of the “Forbidden City” nightclub in San Francisco.

 

 

A 1930s show or film would not be complete without a tap dance piece. Following the tradition, Miss Trixie Royale has prepared a special tribute act to Marlene Dietrich, Josephine Baker and other female performers who dressed in men’s attire on stage, against the society norms of the time. This playful act leads the finale of the show, inspired by the main dance performance in the film “Victor / Victoria”.
