This is a Shrek themed burlesque drag show. Quite a combination. The show is created by the award winning Australian Trigger Happy who is also the lead performer.
It is silly, wild and melodramatic at times. The dancing and the choreography is faultless. It is graceful, over the top camp and such fun!
The show encompasses everything that is good about burlesque and more. This is a fun celebration of the art form. The audience are excitedly cheering and clapping and the music choices are perfect from the Pussy Cat Dolls, a very memorable rendition of Man In the Mirror on roller skates and an impressive interpretation of Hallelujah.
The costumes are a huge part of the show and are a very impressive homage to the original Shrek characters.
The show is exhilarating from beginning to end. There are inflatable piggies, a very flamboyant Lord Farquaad, the Dragon and a pirouetting Shrek performing a strip tease that feels quite liberating!
This is an ogre inspired burlesque drag parody. It is very funny and the talents on display are undeniable.
A fun night out!
