La
Soirée is a raunchy, entertaining show full of eroticism and talent. Set up
like a circus act, the audience sits around a circular red stage as the
centerpiece. Vaudeville, burlesque, cabaret, and circus are performed for the
amusement of the crowd, all executed perfectly.
After
debuting in London in 2010, Manhattan is lucky to feature such a
tongue-in-cheek show. Presented by Brett Haylock, Mark Rubinstein, and Mick
Perrin it features a cast of approximately 25 artists all different and
interesting in their own right, but when combined bring such a taste of the
exotic and fun to the show. Acts vary from male pole dancers to contortionists,
to comedy, and acrobatics. There was not a dull moment. 
It
has won several awards, including the London Cabaret Award for Best
One-Off-Show and its previous show La Clique won an Olivier Award in 2008.
Now
in previews at the Union City Theatre, the official opening is October 7, 2013
for a limited engagement. I strongly suggest seeing the show before it goes
back to London.
