Awards and Reviews.

Best Theatre Award - Wellington fringe 2006

Best of the Fringe – Wellington fringe 2006

"There's no doubt Heavenly Burlesque is a hit of the fringe. Last night the Paramount foyer was packed by punters happy to be primed by roving performers – a farmer and his dog, a crop-wielding dominatrix, weird people in exotic garb – if not exactly to 'Shut up!', as exhorted by one, to listen to set pieces like Dreamscape's 'Restaurant' sketch or songs from blue-haired soprano Barbie and blonde mezzo soprano-with a squeeze-box Ashlyn. By the time they fill the theatre the punters are ready to rock…"

1. John Smythe: NBR

" The real strength of Heavenly Burlesque was its pace. One act drifted seamlessly into another and there was absolutely no waiting around. If the stage needed to be changed other parts of the auditorium, such as the audience, were used flawlessly. There was not a second in which any audience member, especially one with an alarmingly shot attention span like mine, could get bored… Needless to say, I enjoyed the show, a lot. It was fun, sexy and highly polished. Unlike a number of similar shows it worked, spectacularly. It changes every night but it promises to remain bloody good. It went off and I will certainly be going again, and again."

- Jules Van Cruysen: Salient Magazine

"…there is much to applaud in this production of entertaining acts under the over-all direction of Tom Beauchamp…highly enjoyable entertainment…"

- Ewen Coleman; The Dominion Post
