Back by popular demand, Hotsy Totsy Burlesque once again pays tribute to the critically acclaimed horror series Stranger Things. Set in the 1980s and created by The Duffer Brothers, the show celebrates 1980s films and horror classics, drawing inspiration from luminaries such as Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, David Lynch, Stephen King, Wes Craven, and H. P. Lovecraft.
With a soundtrack filled with 80's classics, Stranger Things lends itself perfectly to a burlesque tribute.
This year, Hotsy Totsy turns 16. Our first show was staged in New York in April of 2007, and it's been a fabulous ride! We have consistently played to sold-out shows, and our dedicated fans enthusiastically follow the soap opera that is Hotsy Totsy, declaring after each performance, "That was the best show you folks have ever done!" As performers and writers, we have grown as a troupe and as friends, and we are excited for next year when we enter our 17th year of paying tribute to our favorite movies and TV shows with rhinestones, glitter, and flying underpants.
Every month, audiences are invited 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 onward we press, and the house mother, Cherry Pitz, along with her faithful consort, Handsome Brad, promises you beautiful, clothing-averse nerds, lots of laughs, spinning tassels, and fun!
So, come to Hotsy Totsy Burlesque at The Home for Wayward Girls and Fallen Women, where the motto is "We've fallen, we can't get up, and we like it that way!"
