I love the tease. I love the overall presentation.

DAVID MENACE “It’s always a new, fantastic free show each and every week.”

People really appreciate acts that are creative and the talent. There is a lot of talent that comes through Hell’s Kitchen.

Because it’s a regular event and the venue is very classic and very warm, the atmosphere, the table setting, the closeness and the camaraderie of a lot of people, the excitement, the hooting and the howling. It’s just fabulous to see, women full of confidence, out there to entertain, make people smile.

Not that the same shows don’t go on in New York, but we’re pulling girls in from all the different venues in New York, throughout the world. We keep getting new people every week walk in there.

The girls come in all shapes and sizes. The woman’s body is beautiful no matter how you present it as long as you have the confidence to present it. It’s all about the curves, the movement, the sureness that a lot of performers bring in themselves. I love all the glitz and glamour that goes along with it.

It’s our burlesque, it’s modern day burlesque with flashbacks of old. I think we have brought an era back, a style, a glam, a mystic and brought it with a 21st century touch.

It’s not about nudity, it’s not a stripper. If you think about it you see a burlesque act that’s three minutes long and for two minutes and 40 seconds of that act she has got clothes on. It’s only that last moment paaraaaa that you see it as she walks off stage.

No one would expect British, German and Danish tourists to visit Newark, New Jersey, every Thursday night.

“We’re bringing people from all over the place. There are people coming from all over the United States and all over the world to see our burlesque show,” said Lady J “The Diva,” one of the organizers of Brick City Burlesque at Hell’s Kitchen Lounge.

The sold out attractions of the past are inspiring the return of burlesque to the Garden State. Half a century has passed since burlesque was banned from New Jersey and Kelly Moraes is on a mission to bring it back. A few miles from the abandoned and decrepit old Newark theaters, Moraes planned and designed Hell’s Kitchen Lounge, the only venue in New Jersey with a weekly burlesque show.
Moraes grew up listening to her mother telling her stories about the old days, the burlesque dancers, the jazz players, the actors, the comedians and the glamorous singers of the 40s and 50s.

“Not that the same shows don’t go on in New York but we’re pulling in girls from all over the world,” said Lady J. “Cleo Cut-Throat from Germany, Diana Deadly from Chicago,Sweet Lily Bee from Minnesota, Diana Danger from Virginia, Lu DeLaHon from Boston, Minnie DeMucha…just so many girls.”
