A theatrical phenomenon, a unique and gasp-inducing night of live entertainment, LA SOIRÉE opened last night at the Union Square Theatre (100 East 17th Street) for a limited engagement. Bringing the glamour and glitz of the velvet-draped vaudeville salons straight into the 21st century, LA SOIRÉE's seductive setting is complete with ringside seats, bar service and posh tables from where audiences will be treated to a heady cocktail of cabaret, new burlesque, circus sideshow and contemporary variety.

It is high glamour and low inhibition entertainment for those who enjoy the risky and the risqué. The lineup for LA SOIRÉE features the crème de la crème of singular entertainers, including stars of the Olivier-Award winning La Clique. LA SOIRÉE has seduced audiences around the world, conquering Paris, Sydney, Stockholm and London with their astonishingly sexy, funny and downright dangerous take on cabaret and variety. Delicious, deviant and delirious, it is impossible to describe and impossible to resist.
LA SOIRÉE took New York by storm in 2006 under the title Absinthe: Les Artistes de La Clique. Subsequent versions of Absinthe shows were inspired by the original production but did not have any of the same creative or production team. LA SOIRÉE's creative producer is Brett Haylock. It is presented by Brett Haylock, Mark Rubinstein and Mick Perrin.
Tickets are now on sale through www.ticketmaster.com.
