Just in time for Valentine's Day, Hotsy Totsy Burlesque - in its 15th year of paying tribute to favorite movies and TV shows with rhinestones, glitter, and flying underpants, and winner of Broadway World's “Best Burlesque Show of 2023” - will present its fan-favorite annual tribute to the ladies of Disney.

Prince Charming (Handsome Brad) and his wife, the Cherry Godmother, are throwing their annual Bride Finding Ball, this time for Tinkerbell, the original Manic Pixie Dream Girl. But is finding a handsome prince really her idea of happily ever after?

The show will take place at The Slipper Room (167 Orchard Street, NYC), a 21+ venue, on Thursday, February 8, 2024. The performance will be hosted by Cherry Pitz & Handsome Brad, with special guest host Bimini Cricket; acts by Fortune Cookie, Persé Fanny, Betty Brash, and Rosie Cheeks; gogo by Bitsy Brûlée, and stage kitten duties handled by Dutch Baby. Admission is $25 pre-sold reserved seating, and tickets can be purchased at www.slipperroom.com or https://bit.ly/HotsyTotsyDisney. \

Doors open at 7:00 pm, and the show begins at 8 pm. / Show at 8:00

In addition to this February's Disney tribute, Hotsy Totsy invites you each month to The Home For Wayward Girls and Fallen Women. The residents of the home need money to keep their hotel open and to buy G-strings and glitter. Sadly, the shows have had their technical difficulties, and in the past, they have had to combat Daleks, Darth Vader, The Borg, zombies, the ghost of Vincent Price, network censors, evil from other dimensions, and, most recently, Covid-19. But Hotsy Totsy presses onward, and the house mother,Cherry Pitz, along with her faithful consort Handsome Brad, promise you beautiful, clothing-averse nerds, lots of laughs, spinning tassels and fun! Their upcoming shows include:

January 11, 2024 – The Films of Spielberg

American Blues: 5 Short Plays by Tennessee Williams Written by Tennessee Williams Directed by Jim Niesen Presented by the Irondale Ensemble Project at The Space at Irondale 85 South Oxford St., Brooklyn, NYC October 27-November 26, 2023 Shadenia Savid in Moony's Kids Don't Cry . Photo by Natasha Rotondaro In 1948, Tennessee Williams published American Blues , a collection of five one-act plays, and a remarkable new production of this collection by Brooklyn's Irondale shows that these works have lost none of their power to both entertain and challenge audiences in the intervening three-quarters of a century. Comprising plays written in the decade between 1936 and 1946 - Moony's Kids Don't Cry (1936); The Dark Room (1939); The Case of the Crushed Petunias (1941); The Long Stay Cut Short, or, the Unsatisfactory Supper (1946); and Ten Blocks on the Camino Real (1946) - American Blues represents the second part of Irondale's American Century, the first install...

How To Eat an Orange Written by Catherine Filloux Based on the writing of Claudia Bernardi Directed by Elena Araoz Presented by La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club at The Downstairs at La MaMa 66 E 4th St., Manhattan, NYC May 30-June 16, 2024 Paula Pizzi. Photo by Steven Pisano How To Eat an Orange , making its world premiere at La MaMa, does in fact include a real orange as a prop, and its multifarious symbolizations–evoking at different points cultural specificity, family history, matriarchal inheritance, and even a skull–are representative of the play's boundary-blurring, non-linear presentation of memory. The memories in question belong to visual artist, educator, and activist Claudia Bernardi , who lived through several years of her native Argentina's military junta, which held power from 1976 to 1983, before departing her country and eventually settling in the United States. How To Eat an Orange , from Catherine Filloux, a French Algerian American award-winning playwright,...
