Vaudeville Galore, a brand new locally-grown entertainment troupe that arose from the ashes of the Voix De Ville Follies, made their public debute on Saturday, January 21 at Gallery 5, and our own Todd Raviotta was in attendance. He brought back this amazing combination of audio, video, and photo animation, featuring an incredible burlesque performance by The Muse in which, to the accompanying strains of Annie Lennox’s “Walking On Broken Glass,” she–you guessed it–dances across broken glass, eventually lying down on the glass in a near-naked state. As MC Parker S. Galore says afterwards, “That’s scary–and HOT!” The video also features appearances by Mark Slomski, Bitsy Buttons, Foxy Faux Pas, Cherrie Canary, Indy Go-Go, Deanna Danger, and Buster Britches, with musical accompaniment by Alison Self and The Regulars. Check it out!
