Shows like this are for everyone. My gay male friends come see me perform, my bi male and female friends come see me perform, my straight male friends come see me perform, and my gay female friends come see me perform.

Hell, my parents come see me perform, and my brother and boyfriend play the piano and the bass WHILE I perform.

You clearly have no understanding of what burlesque is about. Try researching it before making such a blanket and uneducated comment.

Oh, I wished I'd been there! Fantastic! I think about the history of burlesque, everyone would agree that it's got it's theatrical origins in Europe, but spread over and was reinvented and revived in the USA, so I don't think you can really tell where it comes from. Also, the burlesque moves were inspired by everything exotic from hula to belly dance, and absorbed moves from gogo dancing and ballet, so I think it's a mix of all beautiful things whatsoever.
