Before seeing Pin Up, I was already aware that the show was a "clean" burlesque show-meaning that there was no nudity. I received comped tickets for this show and managed to score seating at a comfy booth in the third row back. I didn't really have high expectations for Pin Up walking in, and the show indeed turned out to be just "okay".
Pin Up is supposed to be Playmate of 2011 Claire Sinclair's show, but in actuality she is more of a side note to her own show. She is mostly in the background bouncing around awkwardly or is being danced around by the professional cast. Sinclair neither sings or dances. She has a few solo acts where she strips down and makes sure to shake her boobs and butt a lot, but her performance ends there. While there is no nudity, Sinlcair does *spoiler alert* bare just about all in a g-string and nipple tassels during one act.
The show itself is organized on the months of the year beginning with January and ending in December. The show lasts an hour and half (a bit too long for my taste). Sinclair's four female dancers and one male dancer make up most up the show. A singer and 6-piece band provide the background music to the show, but have their own solo acts as well. My favorite part of the show was a swing dancing skit accompanied by big band music. It is evident that Sinclair's dancers are professional dancers with training in ballet and tap-dance. All the dancers and musicians were on point as far as I could tell.
Overall, the show was unnecessarily lengthy in time and was organized poorly. The professional dancers, singer, and six-piece band were talented and entertaining but not enough to reconcile the show's drawbacks. I would really only recommend this show if you were a huge fan of Claire Sinclair.
