Australia's premier burlesque showcase, featuring an all star cast of international burlesque stars and the creme de la creme of Australian local talent. The Burlesque Ball has evolved greatly since its debut event in 2006. This year, we see an incredible all-star lineup from the USA, Canada and Australia. As with each year, we have stepped up our game with production, and 2011 sees a brand new overall theme The Exotic Garden. The new theme has also allowed for a new exciting format for The Burlesque Ball, bringing together an overall story, moving picture component and our Musical Director, Omegaman is working on a brand new musical approach. This is a very exciting year for The Burlesque Ball. The Bijou Group is thrilled to announce our dates and locations for the 2011 Tour. FEATURING: * MC TIGGER!
