Nestled within the intimate confines of Atlanta's Burlesque & Cabaret House, Metropolitan Studios, The Candybox Revue's 1259 Burlesque Show pulsates with energy and verve.
This bi-monthly event isn't just about tassel twirling and feather shedding; it's a hotbed where new ideas and talents are fostered and supported, and a platform for artistic camaraderie and burlesque's ever-evolving spirit.
Forget the manufactured glamour of Vegas showrooms. 1259 is a raw burlesque show; a creative space where established performers refine their routines and budding talents emerge under the spotlight.
March's 1259 featured seasoned performers like Talloolah Love and Obsidian who enthralled with their sensuality, while rising stars ignited the stage with vibrancy.
The evening unfolded under the witty guidance of emcee Tucker AYE ALXNDR. The Atlanta School of Burlesque opened the show with a poignant number that's both melancholic and evocative, setting the tone for an evening of unexpected delights.
Obsidian, meanwhile, left the audience breathless with her darkly seductive act that culminates in a delightfully kinky surprise.
And to quote Press Pass holder, Sam Sational, "It has been a min since we've seen a solo from Sunshine Divine and WE WERE THRILLED AND IN TERROR haha! Thanks from bringing this to the show, Sunshine!!"
Miss Juniper Fizz effortlessly navigated between a classic, playful burlesque number and a show-stopping "Sing and Strip" fairy routine, showcasing her impressive vocal and physical prowess.
The evening culminated with Axel Estelle's smokey closing number.
This spirit of constant evolution is what makes 1259 such a compelling spectacle. It's a place where established burlesque performers inspire newcomers, and audiences are treated to a kaleidoscope of burlesque expressions.
So, ditch the tired dinner-and-a-movie routine. If you're seeking an evening of artistic exploration, infectious energy, and a touch of playful intrigue, then look no further than Atlanta's burlesque troupe: The Candybox Revue. You might just discover a new appreciation for the art of the tease and have simply the best time!
