Step right up and take a peak behind velvet curtains where one dancer exposes what life is really like behind the glamour and pasties. Award-winning filmmaker Gary Beeber has unveiled a candid, yet wildly entertaining documentary, Dirty Martini and the New Burlesque, giving audiences a glimpse behind the woman who isnât afraid to take it all off for men and women everywhere. Dirty Martini, New York Cityâs own bump ânâ grind sensation, unveils a tale of struggle and survival in New York City, all while remaining half naked and true to herself. From her childhood as a ballerina in rural New Jersey, to leaving for the bright lights of Manhattan with the guidance of drag queens, viewers discover how burlesque, which would have easily led to an arrest for too much wiggle decades ago, has made a glittery comeback thanks to Martini and her closest friends.
Beyond the false lashes and corsets, Beeber exposes the real lives of the cityâs naughtiest stars and how they rely on their friendship to thrive in a city where oneâs 15 minutes of fame can end faster than a wink. Whether it’s overcoming rising rents or finding love, audiences will see burlesqueâs finest like never before. Filled with rib tickling humor, tearful confessions, and plenty of skin, youâll live in Martiniâs pumps and cheer for more. Dirty Martini and the New Burlesque delivers both the magic and reality of an art thatâs certain to stay, all while reminding New Yorkers why, like a fine cocktail, the art of tease is so irresistible.
See the New York premiere of Dirty Martini and the New Burlesque this Sunday, June 13th (8PM) at Manhattanâs Abrons Art Center, also including a star-studded show that you wonât see anywhere else. Let Mr. Showbiz Murray Hill be your guide through sizzling live performances by Julie Atlas Muz, Jo Boobs, Bunny Love, Angie Pontani, Peekaboo Pointe, Tigger!, Kate Valentine, World Famous *BOB*, Bambi the Mermaid, and Dirty Martini herself.
