Corsets and Cuties has been an Orlando institution for 10 years. This year they take to the huge Orange venue for a grand finale. The final show on May 26 at 9:40pm is to be their last.
I have been sketching Corsets and Cuties performances for years and always fall in love with the humor that they bring to burlesque.
At this press preview show the funniest performance came from a dancer who whipped a giant 7 foot wiener out of a bun. It had a boa of yellow mustard spiraling along it’s surface. She held the wiener over head and spin enthusiastically. Her costume which came off with enthusiasm had a retro 1920s feel. By the end she lay on the ground and hugged the wiener between her legs. It was a hilarious routine.
Barbie Rhindstone performed as a demonic bride which was also hilarious. Two aerialists performed on an exotic synchronized routine on the suspended ring.
There were cabaret tables on the floor for the more daring audience members and Ed Anthony was the only person to be daring enough to sit up front. He was rewarded with an up close and personal attention from dancers.
Show dates:
Saturday May 17, 8:30pm, Monday May 18, 7:25pm, Saturday May 24, 5:50pm, Sunday May 25, 9:40pm.
