Bring Back the Showgirl
Infusing Old-School Glamour with the Burlesque Revival
Bring Back the Showgirl infuses the art of the traditional showgirl with the beauty of the new-wave big burlesque into one glittery, glamorous and sexy show. Showcasing award-winning Australian performers, Bring Back the Showgirl is reminiscent of the tradition of old Hollywood and Parisian clubs.
Producer and current Miss Burlesque WORLD, Cassandra Jane, started performing in 1999 and soon rose to become one of the most prominent showgirls in Australia.
“When I first started in 1999 we would be working in up to 15 venues a week and would perform with big-name adult entertainers such as Cassie Tyler and Gorgie Girl. Yes, they were adult entertainers or ‘strippers’, but their style was all about elaborate costumes, presentation, glamour, choreography and class. This craft has been lost over the past 10 years, as the showgirl has gone from being sexy to sexual. Bring Back the Showgirl is bringing the SHOW back into the girl.”
Bring Back the Showgirl started off as a fundraiser in 2011 to raise funds to help Cassandra Jane make her 13-year dream of winning the Miss Nude Australia pageant come true. Which, incidentally she did.
Back-up dancers, big props and big costumes – Bring Back the Showgirl stars Cassandra Jane, Miss Burlesque Victoria 2012 Strawberry Siren, international teaseur Bella De Jac and guest artists including world-renowned burlesque revival performer Gypsy Wood and Miss Burlesque NSW 2011 Danica Lee. A show not to be missed!
