Burlesque at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre

Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre announces a fun and flirty new show will come to its stage for just 10 performances before the 2012 Season kicks off in January. Jack Milo’s Baggy Pants Burlesque makes its Indianapolis debut Dec. 28. The show takes audiences back to the best of playful Vaudeville entertainment, and stars Beef & Boards funny men Doug Stark and Jeff Stockberger, together with Milo himself.

“People should expect to laugh their butts off,” Milo said of his show. “They should expect old-time burlesque.” While Beef & Boards is giving the production a PG-13 rating, and Milo agrees it’s “definitely not for little kids,” the show harkens back to original burlesque fun. “Burlesque became an offshoot of Vaudeville, and they decided to go a little more racy with it,” Milo said. “People have expectations of a strip show, and it isn’t that. It’s basically comedy sketches and musical numbers. He describes the show as “fun, fast and furious.”
