The Atomic Bombshells, Seattle’s polished and perfectly-choreographed, professional Burlesque troupe, present a show that celebrates the feminine form with good humor and classic style. In Seattle, The Atomic Bombshells were the first troupe to bring burlesque to the historic Triple Door Theater. Most recently the Bombshells have spread their “gospel of glitter” overseas, performing sold-out events in Amsterdam, Berlin, and Shanghai.

Armed with an astounding amount of talent, these phenomenal beauties pull out all the stops and pump out a show of sheer splendor where every inch of skin is cherished. (Seattle Weekly)

Miss Indigo Blue is the 2011 Burlesque Hall of Fame’s “Reigning Queen of Burlesque” For the last fifteen years, this “neo-burlesque” entertainer has titillated crowds across the world with her tassel-twirling techniques and smart, sexy, and funny skits. Miss Indigo is known for her hilarious surprises, erotic dance skills, authentic 1930’s-1960’s costuming, and naughty reduxes of popular characters like Holly Golightly, Carmen Miranda and Wonder Woman. Miss Indigo starred in the documentary film “A Wink And A Smile” about her Academy of Burlesque in Seattle and is one of the most sought after burlesque performers in the nation.

Lily Verlaine is a classical ballet dancer and a graduate of The University of Minnesota in the major of Women in the Creative Arts which combined Creative Writing, Studio Art and Feminist Theory. As a burlesque performer, Miss Verlaine has shared stages with Dita Von Teese and other distinguished ladies of burlesque. As a choreographer, Miss Verlaine has set work upon many Seattle notables. Miss Verlaine is also the co-producer and Artistic Director of the smash hits “Land of the Sweets: The Burlesque Nutcracker” and “Through the Looking Glass: the Burlesque Alice in Wonderland.”

Lily is a master of her art form … she looked absolutely in control of her body, smile, and indeed those of every single person, male and female, in the audience. (Examiner.com)
