Let’s dance!
Va-Va-Voom Productions and Cassette Nine, who have collaborated to produce a g-string of sell out burlesque shows since 2015, present the highly anticipated, brand new nation-wide burlesque competition, PRESS PLAY!
PRESS PLAY is the new kid on the burlesque block. Combining theatrical improvisation and burlesque, this competition will guarantee competitors and audience members alike a night of suspense, drama, excitement and hilarity. Our eight contestants, all from around New Zealand, will choose a musical genre, be given a random song, bestowed an “ask for” from the audience and then will have to shimmy, shake and improvise for their lives. The two highest scoring performers at the end of the night will then compete against each other in a battle royale of off-the-cuff burlesque to win the title of PRESS PLAY CHAMPION 2018.
Our venue for the evening is where all the kool kats hang, Cassette Nine. They promise to fill you with special cocktails, world famous teapots, tantalizing meals and other mouth-watering refreshments.
Our competitors for PRESS PLAY 2018 are:
Amourous Ava (AK)
Blue Virtue (WLG)
Bonita Danger Doll (CH)
Chris “Oh!” Olwage (AK)
Kiki Kisses (AK)
Ivan the Red (AK)
Pandora Cherie (AK)
Ruby Ruin (CH)
Hosted by Piotr of Uzbekoslavia
Judged by our trifactor panel of judges Duchess deBerry (Professional Burlesque Performer), Steven Lyons (Professional Comedian & Theatrical Improvisor) and Velvet Decollete (Miss PinUp New Zealand 2017 & Costumier)
