BTO opens Cabaret Grimm, April 15-17, 2010

Le Cabaret Grimm:  a punk cabaret fairy tale (sans fairies)

Written and directed by Jason Slavick
Adapted from Grimms' Tales
Composed by Cassandra Marsh
Choreography by Michelle Chasse

From somewhere between Paris, Berlin and the bowels of the Bowery comes Le Cabaret Grimm, a punk cabaret tale of loss, longing, and desire - with a healthy dose of irony. We've got sexy girls and boys, conjoined twins, demons, and talking chickens. We'll take you on a journey drawn from the Tales of the Brothers Grimm, with music, mask, dance, and spectacle, led by the great chanteuse Veronique du Blahblahblah.

Each night we are joined by special guest performers. We bring you music, burlesque, circus, drag and more, hosted by the extraordinary Johnny Blazes.   The Boston Typewriter Orchestra will be joining the Cabaret April 15-17.
