Falling on the weekend of Beltane, Burlesco Notturno HOT calls to mind the ancient May Day festival of optimism and fire a celebration of the power of heat and new beginnings, falling into place as the sun waxes its way strongly into summer.

Madame X returns with brand-new inspirations that burn with passion and incandescence. She has gathered FOUR of the very best and brightest burlesque performers of our region - The One The Only Inga, Lily Verlaine, Miss(ter) Waxie Moon, and Isobella Bloom - twice as many as any other Burlesco! All joined by an aerial act that is doubly charming: Chapter 2 the graceful aerial duo of Esther Edelman and Glenn Easley bringing an inspiring tango-in-the-air to delight us, along with Vashon favorite Azula showcasing a sultry serenade, and the sizzling music of our beloved The Love Markets.

Burlesco Notturno HOT will be unveiled on Saturday, May 2. Doors open at 7pm; the show begins at 8pm.

A select number of VIP tables are available for groups of 4 or 8. The Burlesco VIP experience is truly sumptuous, including tantalizing food from La Biondo, lovely wine from The Hardware Store, and delectable chocolates from Azula - plus reserved seats right up front to enjoy the show! And as the Burlesco performers come out to visit after the show, their first stop will be at the VIP tables, where they will be available for photos and visiting. VIP tables are $200 for a group of 4, and $400 for a group of 8; only available online, through brownpapertickets.com.

General admission is $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Advance tickets are available at Vashon Bookshop and Brown Paper Tickets
