BURLESQUE NOIR MOVES UP FROM THE UNDERGROUND
as
LAST CALL AT THE STARLINER LOUNGE DEBUTS AT CORIO

EVERY WEDNESDAY!

Big Apple Burlesque is thrilled to announce the official Corio debut of Last Call at the Starliner Lounge, a new and entirely original burlesque noir musical featuring live music, murder, mystery and, last but never least, a bevy of twirling tassels.

The once-underground, once-illegal show formally takes the top floor of Soho’s burlesque landmark Corio, 337 West Broadway at Grand Street. Last Call at the Starliner Lounge takes a long hard look at Softy Malone, Private Dick, as she unravels the
mystery of Sally O’Mally, murdered in cold blood (and little else), to the hot jazz of Broadway Brassy, Brian Newman and the Big Apple Orchestra.

“Absolutely phenomenal! You must see this show, my friends!”
Joe Franklin, Television and Radio Legend
