An Evening of Burlesque

Amber Topaz, star of An Evening of Burlesque. . . “Every inch the moving, shaking, dancing sex bomb” - Sarah Duguid, The Mail on Sunday

Tantalising yet tasteful, camp and colourful, elegant showgirls combine Parisian charm with Vegas glamour. It’s all tease, no sleaze with corsets, killer heels and stockings aplenty. Sultry vocals, breathtaking choreography, mischief, magic, frivolity and fun collide.

The all-star cast of remarkable women command respect: “burlesque sensation” The Guardian, “. . . enchanting, ethereal, elegant, captivating to watch” Mail on Sunday.

Couture costumes recall long-gone-by eras of glamour. The UK’s only touring burlesque spectacular brings the magic of the West End in the ultimate tease.

First opened in 1989, the Towngate Theatre is owned by Basildon District Council and is run by the Council's Cultural Services section. After a period of partial closure the Towngate re-opened fully in summer 2006 as an important feature of Basildon Council's modern cultural strategy.

Although the Towngate Theatre was built as recently as the late 1980s, its main auditorium follows the traditional horse-shoe design seen in many theatres built during the Georgian period. However, it is possible to quickly remove and store the entire 232 stalls seats under the main stage, creating a massive 378 square metre flat floor area suitable for all sorts of occasions. more
