Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Cabaret
Two productions: Evening cabarets for a sophisticated audience and weekend matinees for the whole family.
For twenty years, Bindlestiff's NYC Cabaret season has provided a stage for the world's best in circus, sideshow, vaudeville, burlesque, and variety.
Over 400 circus and variety arts stars have worked this show with acts like trapeze, contortion, acrobatic balance, sword swallowing, juggling, physical comedy, and oddball novelty turns. The Bindlestiff stage is one of the few arenas in the world where you may see internationally renowned street performers, featured acts from Cirque du Soleil and Ringling Brothers, artists made known by America's Got Talent and local legends, live, on stage, and in the same show. Live music is a defining feature of Bindlestiff's Cabaret shows, with witty, original tunes by a variety of NYC's best composers and accompanists. Bindlestiff's unique style reflects deep roots in NYC's underground club scene, nods to political street theater, and a steady respect for the traditions of American popular entertainment and illegitimate theater. The nighttime Bindlestiff Cabaret shows are for grown-ups only. The weekend matinees are ideal for the whole family.
In keeping with Bindlestiff's clubby NYC roots, the audience is encouraged to dress for festival and be part of the glamour of the evening. Those in costume or circus makeup can ask for a discounted ticket at the door. Perhaps you've got some top boots and a tailcoat in the closet? Or a corset and tutu you've been dying to wear? A cotton-candy-floss wig and sparkly eyelashes? Dig them out, put them on, and be part of the spectacle.
The New York Times said of the BFC Cabaret: "It's old-fashioned variety entertainment of the sort Ed Sullivan so astutely scooped up, but with twists."
