VarieTEASE – Nightclubbing
Conceived and executed by Blue
BlueStar Productions at the Footlights Theater, Orlando, Fl</strong>
It’s more hot girl-on-girl lip-syncing action at one of Orlando’s least family-friendly entertainment complexes on South Orange Blossom Trail. VarieTEASE, an elaborate dance and decadence show that gets revamped every month or so take you a place just slightly weirder than what you might see wandering around outside the Footlights Theater bar and box office. Opening the festivity is “Willie” performing an uber-Joel Grey routine done to “You know How I Feel”, followed by a younger and sassier Wendy O. Williams impersonator played by a young lady known as “Spiky,” complete with Mohawk and black electrical tape pasties. This must be a non equity production – no one uses a real name anywhere on stage. Baby Blue herself comes out for a rendition of “Fuck Me Pumps” or a song with that chorus, and there’s a very nice performance of “Too Drunk” by “Lollie.” I’m taking some wild stabs here with names and song titles, there’s no program and the groups My Space page wasn’t a huge amount of help. If there’s a flaw, it’s the badly overdriven sound system, but the energy was right up there, the audience enthusiastic, and recently remolded Footlight Theater has lost some of that traditional “Marlborough Marinade” smell. It’s a short show, but that’s the old vaudeville advice – leave the audience begging for more.
