So you’ve heard about burlesque, and aren’t quite sure………..
What is burlesque?
Burlesque is part theater, part comedy, part storytelling, part stripping- but most importantly- all fun! Burlesque is as American as Jazz, and is a cultural phenomenon, that at its heart, is about celebrating women in all of their forms. Burlesque has a long history in the U.S. and it has many incarnations- and at Viva Dallas Burlesque you will experience all of them- from classic to neo- burlesque, comedic to vaudevillian, we have it all!

Is it the same show every time?
No! Our performers and themes change every single month so it’s always a brand new show!
How do I get tickets?
Tickets are available during pre-sale (ends 5 hours prior to every event) via the Lakewood Theater and the exclusive way to buy VIP tables (the only reserved section in the theater- you cannot get closer to the action!). Tickets are usually available at the door, please be prepared to be patient as there will be a line at the box office.
