BON BON BURLESQUE Returns To The Green Room 42 For Two Shows

THE GREEN ROOM 42 - Broadway's newest intimate concert venue - will welcome back Bon Bon Burlesque with two more scintillating shows on Friday, February 22 and Friday, March 22, both at 9:30 PM. The acclaimed troupe returns to the club after their recent standing room only New Year's Eve celebration. The Puerto Rico-born, Bronx-bred choreographer and performer Marlyn Ortiz, along with choreographer Emmanuel E. Hernandez, directs an all-female cast of New York's hottest dancers, aerialists and comediennes in a show that sets traditional and neo-burlesque elements to Latin rhythms. The evening features the beautiful ladies of Bon Bon Burlesque, in addition to comedienne Lori Sommer, also known as "Madam Honey," singer Rachel Stern, also known as "Ray Ray Star," and Jose Mitaynes as "Manuel." The show includes songs such as La Lupe's "Latin Fever," Madonna's "Justify Your Love," and Esthero's "Wikked Lil' Girrrls."

Marlyn Ortiz (Director and Choreographer) was born in Puerto Rico and raised in Bronx, New York. She began her professional career after graduating from the SUNY Purchase Dance Conservatory. Her skills and talent have taken her around the world as a dancer, aerialist and choreographer, including world tours with Madonna, Taylor Swift, Black Eyed Peas, Usher, Britney Spears, and Mariah Carey.
