The Suicide Girls are bringing their popular Blackheart Burlesque to the Theatre of Living Arts. After years of playing international music festivals, solo shows, and opening for Guns N’ Roses and Courtney Love, the girls put on a full-fledged tour in 2013. Selling out dates across the country, the tour was so successful that this spring the girls brought their act to Australia and Canada. Now back in the U.S., they’ll hit up Philly on Sunday, November 9th at 9:30 p.m.
Suicide Girls is an online community featuring pin-up photography and alternative models—think tattoos, funky hair dos, and tons of cheeky attitude. A self-proclaimed “sorority of badass bombshells and geek goddesses,” the community celebrates uniqueness, indie culture, and alternative beauty, opposing society’s cookie-cutter beauty standards.
Blackheart Burlesque features music and all-new striptease performances full of geeky references to things like Adventure Time and A Clockwork Orange. The show’s choreography comes from Manwe Sauls-Addison who has worked with Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, and Lady Gaga. Vice called the pop-culture-filled show, “Comicon meets burlesque nerd orgy” and, with Inked magazine and MAC Cosmetics sponsoring the tour, it’ll surely be a feast for the eyes.
Tickets for the one-night-only Blackheart Burlesque are $35. Remember those sold-out shows we told you about? Don’t hesitate if you want to see the Suicide Girls in action.
