What is a Burlesque Show? St. Louis?

 

Looking for something fun to do?  So were we when we created The Boom Boom Room in St. Louis

Thanks to performers like Dita Von Teese, audiences around the world are more interested in burlesque shows than ever before. If you're new to the art and want to learn more, the experts from The Boom Boom Room are here to explain. This St. Louis, MO, cabaret venue specializes in serving up alluring entertainment and gourmet food in a lively vintage-inspired atmosphere.

When some people think of burlesque shows, they imagine sexy dancers stripping. However, burlesque is more than just striptease—the term refers to a range of performance styles and the art form as a whole. Performers construct their own unique personas and artfully reveal them to the audience. While they are not strictly dancers, these performers have the rhythm, skill, and charisma to rouse your emotions. 

The Boom Boom Room’s house troupe, the Boom Boom Bombshells offer music, comedy, dancing, and aerial arts, making every show a breathtaking experience. From feather boas and thigh-highs with garters to fans and flaming torches, performers use an array of props to evoke a mood and draw in spectators. Whether the act is slow and seductive or fast-paced and raw, there’s always something fresh and intoxicating that makes audiences' jaws drop.

As an art form that’s been around since the 1840s, going to a burlesque show today feels like stepping into a bygone era. The music plays, the performers swing, and the bartenders keep the drinks flowing. While you watch, you can enjoy a delicious multicourse meal. This tasteful yet thrilling affair offers something for every guest. Whether you need to spice up your next night out or want a unique entertainment experience, a burlesque show may be the perfect event for you.

If you’re hosting a bachelorette party or need a fun idea for date night, why not reserve tickets for your very first burlesque show? To learn more about what the The Boom Boom Room offers, call (314) 436-7000 or visit their website
