This intimate, intoxicating theater is a two-story collage of lush fabrics, fringes, chandeliers, feathers and curtains, and the colorful stage production recalls the Folies Bergere of 1920s Paris.
Marveling the modern-day audiences are forgotten turn-of-the-century virtuoso acts--fire-eaters, knife-throwers, contortionists--accompanied, of course, by lovely little helpers in pasties.
Those seated on the main floor become the playthings of performers and beloved drag queen host Raven O. Dinner is equally sensory--beets with goat cheese, veal cheeks and gorgonzola-stuffed pears. |
