Best Burlesque Shows In New Orleans
There are only a few places in the world where you’ll be able to experience an authentic burlesque performance, and New Orleans is one of them.
After Storyville, a notorious 1897 red-light district known for its scandalous burlesque shows, prostitution houses, and vibrant jazz scene, shut down in 1917, the satire-act’s success had already embedded itself into the Big Easy’s nightlife culture. Today, thanks to performers like “Evangeline, the Oyster Girl” (who headlined Casino Royal with an act that included her rising from a giant oyster shell and dancing with an oversized pearl), NOLA’s burlesque scene stands among the most remarkable in the world. Follow us now as we guide you through New Orleans’ best spots for burlesque.
