From smash hit burlesque legends Finucane & Smith comes the true-lies expose of the most infamous showgirl of the nineteenth century, Lola Montez. Decked in couture lace, wild dance, wilder tales, sultry song and a death scene or three, Lola is an ‘exquisite’ celebration of wild women.
Come for the truth, stay for the scandal!
Starring triple Best Actress Winner, Miss Caroline Lee, and the red hot Lovely Lolettes: burlesque goddess Maple Rose, roof-raising diva Piera Dennerstein, Parisian club kitten Iva Rosebud, with special guests flying in (Mama Alto & more!). Written by Patrick White Playwright Award Winner Jackie Smith and directed by Queen of Provocative Variety Moira Finucane, do not miss Lola’s Melbourne premiere!

Very enjoyable show!
