04 May- 21 Sept 2008 Coney Island, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world and referred to by one observer as "Sodom by the Sea", sees the return of the Burlesque on the Beach programme this summer.
Burlesque is finding a new lease of life in a revival of the most glorious and notorious of the "girlie revues" in Coney Island history.
In its heyday, the sumptuous decor, bubble machine and exotic performances made Burlesque one of Coney's hottest attractions. Now, times have changed, and so have the shows. These all-new shows blend old-style burlesque and sideshow freaks with new Vaudeville and toe tappin' music.
Expect the unexpected over the summer months. Performances include fire shows and sword-swallowing while freaks, wonders and human curiosities are all presented in the best possible taste.
