BURLESQUE TO BROADWAY Comes to Seattle, 2/23-25

With one show stopping number after another, Burlesque to Broadway splashes onto The Triple Door stage for three nights only, starring Quinn Lemley, her backup gals and an intoxicating 10-piece big band.
 
Together, this team of musicians and performers light up the stage and bring the audience into the worlds of Minsky's Burlesque Theatre, The Ziegfeld Follies, Broadway and beyond in this fast paced theatrical concert.  Hot off a sold out run in Athens, Greece, Quinn Lemley channels the "queen of comedy" Fanny Brice, the outrageous Bette Midler, Sally Rand and her Fan, Seattle's own Gypsy Rose Lee and others that defined burlesque and illuminated Broadway. Burlesque to Broadway plays The Triple Door for six performances only, February 23 - 25, 2011.
 
Star of the critically acclaimed The Heat is On (celebrating the life of Rita Hayworth), Quinn Lemley is an international favorite from New York's B.B. King Blues Club to The Half Note in Athens, Greece, where she was celebrated by the media as "The Iconic Face of The Half Note." Having appeared in many of the top theatres of the world across the US, Europe and China, she has performed Burlesque to Broadway at LA's Haugh Center for the Arts, NY's Lehman Center and to sold out audiences at the Kravis Center and Sunrise Theatre. 
 
Tony-Award and Drama Desk Award winning director, Joe Hardy, takes you on a ride through the music of burlesque, Broadway and beyond, with show stopping numbers from Sweet Charity, Gypsy, Cole Porter's Leave it to Me, My Man, to name a few. Joe Hardy received the Drama Desk Award for You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown and won the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Play for Child's Play.  Burlesque to Broadway dazzles audiences with sequined, feathered costumes, music and jokes that are all about the tease. 
 
Come share the fun as vivacious Quinn Lemley, along with her sizzling back up girls and big band, sing and dance up a storm with such unforgettable hits such as "Hey Big Spender", "Ten Cents a Dance", "Let Me Entertain You", "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" and many other surprises. This fast paced glamorous Vegas style production, with gorgeous girls who pay homage to the music, vaudeville humor and world of burlesque and Broadway, lets the audience leave reality behind. Burlesque to Broadway has been met with standing ovations by audiences from New York to LA and now it is Seattle's turn to celebrate the art of the tease!
