Burlesque In a Nutshell is a fresh, behind-the-scenes peek into thepersonal and effervescent lives in the world of Burlesque. The readers areinvited 'inside 'for an up-close and intimate story of friendships andconfidences, heartbreaks, laughter and strange quirks. Rather than theusual account of those involved in the history of Burlesque; thestrip-stars and comics are taken off the marquees, and delivered asaccessible people with fascinating experiences. Early Burlesque was Vaudeville’s off-spring. It grew to become an integralpart of America’s history. It was a launch pad for many talentedwell-known comedians. It offered inexpensive, and well-needed diversionfrom the depression and the second world war. Burlesque inadvertentlyaffected, and changed society’s views on the art of entertainment. This book is written to honor, and reveal the real profession ofBurlesque. It was a time, when Burlesque was a tasteful tease, with a winkand a wiggle. When audiences howled at the zany antics of the baggy-pantscomics, and ogled the cute chorus gals. A time when, Burlesque Queenswooed us with fabulous fans and fantastic costumes, and glided across thestage, accompanied by a full orchestra. All this, in the grandeur of aMinsky’s Theatre. This book is meant to be a portal into that long goneera.
