Whoop Dee Doo: Melbourne really needs another Burlesque Revue

VIVA welcomes a brand new midweek monthly offering, “Whoop Dee Doo!” produced by Miss Maple Rose with Myra Magdalene.

Get ready for a full evening of burlesque with “Whoop Dee Doo,” a double show event that takes you on a journey from the golden age of burlesque to the cutting edge of neo performance art.

It’s not one but two shows for the perfect full evening out on the town – a dinner and double show!

Begin the night at 7pm with a classic cocktail at the “Burlesque Revue.” Step back in time where the spirit of the golden age of mid century burlesque clubs comes alive in a dazzling display of striptease accompanied by live jazz, and doused in classic charm.

As the night deepens, “Whoop Dee Doo” transforms into something entirely different with our late show at 10om “Another Late Night Revue”- a neo-burlesque spectacle where anything can happen. Expect the unexpected as a rotating lineup of bold and daring performers take the stage, pushing the boundaries of burlesque in thrilling and imaginative ways. This is where tradition meets innovation, and every act is a surprise.

Before the curtain rises on the late show, our live jazz band will warm up the crowd with a full set, blending modern grooves with classic swing to create an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation. It’s the perfect opportunity to grab a bite to eat from your seat, o be sure to buy a ticket to both shows to catch this energetic jazz set!

She’s paired up with Melbourne’s hottest new Cabaret Venue, VIVA Melbourne, to produce a high calibre monthly burlesque revue to showcase Melbourne’s amazing talent.
