Brought to you by Coney Island U.S.A.
Brooklyn is famous for many things:
hipsters, a bridge or two, the Dodgers - and of course, Neil Diamond.
On Thursday, May 27th, Sweet and Nasty Burlesque brings THE JAZZ
STRIPPER to Coney Island's Burlesque At The Beach for a night of
tassel-twirling tributes to the greatest singer-songwriter ever to
come out of Kings County."What better way to celebrate Coney Island and
Brooklyn than with a show combining two of my deepest and most abiding
loves - burlesque and Neil Diamond?" asks host and producer Nasty
Canasta. The reigning Cheese Queen of Coney Island, Canasta confesses
to a lifelong appreciation of the man known as 'The Jewish Elvis'.
"After all, we were both born right here in Brooklyn - and we were both
naked at the time!"
Since 2006, Sweet and Nasty has been adding its own unique mix of glam
camp, historical fact, and blatant lies to the New York burlesque scene.
THE JAZZ STRIPPER will feature old favorites, new surprises, the return
of the Neil Or No Neil trivia contest - and a special finale tribute to
Mr. Diamond, as only Coney Island can do it. So turn on your
heartlight, thank the Lord for the night time, and travel down those
Brooklyn roads with Nasty Canasta and Sweet and Nasty Burlesque: Creamy
Stevens, Gal Friday, Sapphire Jones, Bastard Keith and Tigger! will make
you a believer at THE JAZZ STRIPPER, a Diamond-studded night of
burlesque on Coney Island for one night only, Thursday, May 27th at 9pm.
Tickets are $10 at the door.
