What would it be like if The Joker existed in the age of Al Capone? That’s exactly what The Batette Follies from 1939 imagines. The vaudeville-style show opens in Los Angeles this summer, so don’t miss out and get your tickets today!
The Batette Follies from 1939 comes from Russall S. Beattie, the same mind behind Star Wars burlesque The Empire Strips Back. You can see the origins of this new show’s setting and cast of uniquely designed characters inside his Gotham: 1919 – 1939 coffee table book.
From both this book and Beattie’s Playboy-style magazine set in the Star Wars universe, Wookieerotica, an incredible amount of attention is paid to even the smallest details in his productions.
The Batette Follies from 1939 is a spin on classic cabaret, featuring live music, dance, and burlesque performances. And if it’s anything like The Empire Strips Back, Angelenos are in for a good time.
The Batette Follies from 1939 opens at the Montalban Theatre (1615 Vine St) this June. So grab your tickets and prepare to be whisked away to the steamiest show Gotham City has ever put on!
