Bustout Burlesque

Back by popular demand, the 1950's-style burlesque production continues its run on world famous Bourbon Street with more sultry live jazz performances, sexy costumes, and mesmerizing dancers.   The Royal Sonesta Hotel will showcase six more performances in its premiere entertainment venue, The Mystick.   Rick Delaup, the show's producer, creator, and historian of the art form, presents an authentic recreation of vintage burlesque in all its glory.

The show will run for three more consecutive Fridays beginning November 7, November 14 and November 21.   Two shows will be offered each evening with shows at 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.   

The shows title sponsor Dan Whitsett, Founder and CEO of Secrets in Lace, an international lingerie company, is the world's largest retailer of 100% nylon stockings.  Whitsett along with beverage partners Grey Goose Vodka and Martini & Rossi Prosecco agreed to the extension due to the show's popularity and successful run at the Royal Sonesta Hotel.

Advanced ticket purchase is encouraged. Reservations can be made by calling 504-586-0300 or visiting www.royalsonestano.com/burlesque.  Ticket prices begin at $25 and premium seating is available for $35 per person.

The 500-room Royal Sonesta hotel boasts over 20,000 square feet of functional meeting space as well as a brand new, luxurious concierge level called the RClub.  Located in the heart of the historic French Quarter, the Royal Sonesta is a step away from world-famous restaurants, antique shops, art galleries, and premier tourist attractions.  One of the city's finest entertainment venues, The Mystick, offers outstanding musical entertainment.  Located just off the main lobby, The Mystick has showcased some of New Orleans' finest performing artists.
