LADYBEAST PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS VAUDEVILLE REVIVAL
Vaudeville Revival is an annual LadyBEAST Productions spectacle—one night only, entirely new acts, and never to be repeated. This year’s show celebrates the electric lineage of circus and vaudeville, from historic legends to local heroes and international stars. Audiences can expect high-flying trapeze, iron jaw, cowboy antics, true clowning, comedy, and jaw-dropping variety, alongside tributes to the trailblazers who built these art forms and the artists boldly reinventing them today.
Vaudeville Revival is part of the Tennessee Williams Festival’s 40th Anniversary marquee events. Presented as part of this landmark celebration, the show honors New Orleans’ theatrical legacy through daring, dangerous, and gloriously alive circus and variety performance. The lineup includes LadyBEAST, Aria de la Noche, Aysa, Gigi Marx, Simone Del Mar, Sweet Tooth Simone, Anya Sapozhnirova, Kitten & Lou, Chris McDaniels, Angie Z, and Rebecca Ostroff, with each artist bringing their own distinct style, history, and edge to the stage. Vaudeville Revival is not a nostalgia act, it is a living, breathing spectacle. A reminder that circus is not frozen in time, but evolving, dangerous, funny, and fiercely alive. One night. New acts. A living spectacle. 21 and older, please.
The Joy Theater, 1200 Canal Street, $100 for VIP Cocktail Seating; $35 for General Admission. Not available with VIP Pass.
