Shine - A Burlesque Musical

Shine: A Burlesque Musical is a tassel-twirling original musical about an infamous burlesque theatre and the family of talented misfits who try to save it from demolition... or
worse, respectability.

This innovative collaboration between two award-winning companies combines the burlesque of Screaming Chicken Theatrical Society with songwriting from cabaret duo The Wet Spots. Gags, gams and gaiety abound in an adult-oriented show with nudity and themes of healthy sexuality.

At the crumbling but historic Aristocrat theatre, Shine Mionne and her chosen family of sexpots and misfits struggle to save the theatre from imminent gentrification in the guise of smooth-talking money man Richard Suit. Along the way Frankie, the newbie actor from out of town,
and Grace, the dimpled graduate student who can't seem to keep her clothes on, are drawn into the vortex of life at The Aristocrat by a diva named Lulu.

As Suit and Shine fight for control of the show, Lulu finds her leading-lady status jeopardized by Suit's meddling and a series of whirlwind affairs threatens to throw the impending opening into chaos.
