New Zealand Theatre Review

Danger Doll's routine was by far the most impressive, flawlessly rehearsed and in a pearl draped costume so beautiful that it seemed a shame to remove. She manoeuvred ostrich feather fans with ballet-like grace to close the story.

Jacqui Le Prou Samson - Calendar Girls New Zealand

Bonita is such a pleasure to work with. Her shows are well put together, everything from music to costume and routine. She is an all round showgirl, very rare in NZ. She is definitely on international standards. It's a pleasure to watch.

Emma Brankin, Fox & Ferret Christchurch

We've used Bonita for events at Fox and Ferret several times and can't recommend her enough! She brings enthusiasm, professionalism and a lot of fun to everything she does with us and we love having her input and advice. Life's truly easier having such a pro hostess pulling everything together seamlessly!

Wellington Reviews From Carousel Cabaret

Miss Bonita Danger Doll from Christchurch - three words came to mind when watching her: beautiful, graceful, smooth. Stunning woman who had the audience hooked with boas, glitter in gloves and feather fans. She did all of her moves so smoothly it almost looked effortless. Wonderful start to the performances.

What is Burlesque?

Burlesque literally means to ‘mock’ or to parody and is an extremely ‘old’ form of variety entertainment popularised in the 1800s but can be found throughout history. Clubs and theatres often had raunchy ‘variety shows’ that were very popular from about the 1840s to the 1940s. Hollywood, in the Golden Era, even tried to recapture or recreate ‘burlesque’ in film that would include elements of vaudeville, comedy, dance and ‘tease’. During the 1940s to 1960s striptease performers such as Gypsy Rose Lee, Tempest Storm, Jennie Lee, Dixie Evans, Lily St Cyr, Evelyn West and so many more embodied the essence of ‘striptease’. 

Neo burlesque or modern burlesque was popularised again in the early 90s in the USA and is still extremely popular worldwide. It generally involves ‘striptease’, which consists of the tasteful removal of garments to a final reveal, but can include elements of slapstick, vaudeville, circus, cabaret, boylesque, queer performance art and so much more. In most cases it does not involve full frontal nudity but is more about capturing the ‘Art of Tease’ in its true essence.  There are now Burlesque Festivals, Productions and Conferences all around the world celebrating ‘burlesque’!

It is an exciting time for performers and audiences!!

Burlesque is for men and women alike who are looking for a great night of entertainment!!!
