| - I wish I could echo the other reviews, but I was very disappointed and underwhelmed. First of all, this was a Halloween special called Splatterhouse Burlesque. We looked for tickets online, but their website was down so decided to buy tickets at the door. There was no more seating left but there was an option to stand at the same price. We decided to go for it. All well till now. Everyone was super nice, no denying that from the bartenders to the DJ and so on.
We grabbed some drinks and stood around. This is when things started to go downhill:
1. They kept letting people in for the standing option even though there was absolutely no room left anywhere. In fact, groups who had reserved seating also only had 50% seating so half the group was standing.
2. Since so many people were standing, and we were way in the back because that is where you are supposed to stand, we couldn't see much of anything.
3. The show started almost an hour later which was a huge disappointment because I expected the show to start at 9-9:15. This is really unprofessional especially since they ask you to come earlier around 7:30-8:30. We had already been at the bar for almost 2 hours before the show started. Had we known, we would have come much later since this was a huge a waste of our time considering we were visiting the city for an extended weekend.
4. Lastly, the show itself was just so blah. The women walked out one by one and simply removed their clothes. I know it was supposed to be sexually exciting but it was just so underwhelming. In fact, the MC asked the crowd why weren't we all more excited after seeing "breasts" but it was just that bad...it was not burlesque like at all.
5. We were so excited to see the show but just couldn't handle how juvenile it was and left during the intermission. I am so happy we were able to sneak out during the intermission.
So, I do think this could just be an off night because of the theme, maybe the regular nights are much better. I have seen burlesque before and this was just not even close to it. It just had a very juvenile and animated feel. The chaos and the disorganization just made the experience worse.
I would avoid and explore other options! I wanted to write this review because I was that disappointed.
