Busy Monsters!

As Vaune has pointed out in the blog below, we have been so busy lately as we are only 18 days until opening night.  Things have really ramped up and I thought I would take this opportunity to update you on what we have been up too….

 Queen Wolf and Cock getting ready for the shoot
Our fantastic team of very talented ladies have been sewing up a storm to make sure the cast are fully clothed! We are trying to get all of them in costume for their final two weeks of rehearsing.

It has been great fun watching the rehearsals and hearing how all the acts are shaping up. The cast are having such an amazing time creating these acts and putting life into the costumes.

We finally got to see some of our characters come to life at our second photo shoot earlier this month, we all got to see our cast of wolves, cocks, monsters, tuis and zombies come to life. 

You will all get to enjoy these stunning images in the programmes and you can even take a picture of your favourite character home on your very own Monster Burlesque postcard.


There are so many layers to this show that are going to make it an experience to remember. Earlier this week a team of us went out to Miramar with a very large piece of fabric and painted what will be a major part of the show… the set. 

This will literally set the scene for the world of Monster Burlesque. Vaune our creative director designed the set. We want to say a massive thank you to the very talented Aaron Black for all of his help and to FUSE circus in Miramar for allowing us to use the space to paint in.

You may have seen some of the photos from the first photoshoot around town on your fantastic posters publicising the show, these were designed by Aaron Black who helped us earlier in the week.

We now have a group rate for groups of 10 + each ticket is $35 and these are available from either eventfinder or direct from Paramount.

We are so excited about the show and with just over two weeks left until we open, you better go and get your tickets.
