So, You Want To Hire The Boston Babydolls...

Congratulations on your impeccable taste. You've elected to hire The Boston Phoenix's "best Burlesque Troupe in Boston" for 2005. Not only that, you've shown yourself to have the discerning taste and intelligence to realize ahead of the riff raff that 'burlesque is the next hot thing' (TIME Magazine) and that The Boston Babydolls are its hottest purveyors.

A Word About "Burlesque"

The Boston Babydolls perform bumping, grinding, swinging, jiving, foot stomping, hand clapping, tassel twirling burlesque. We adore and respect the Golden Age of Burlesque (the 1920s to 1950s) and seek to honor it every time we perform. Our dancers do remove some of their clothing, but the least amount of clothing someone will have on are pasties and panties. If you are hiring us to perform in your venue, check your local ordinances. It's up to you to know your local decency laws. We're happy to modify our act to suit (which usually means stripping down to bras and panties), but you need to let us know.

While burlesque dance is an essential part of any Boston Babydolls appearance, it's by no means all we offer. True to the spirit of the day, our troupe includes acrobats, magicians, tumblers, jugglers, knife throwers, fire eaters, hula hoopers, and more classic variety acts than you can twirl a tassel at! Let us know your needs, and we can accommodate them.

From Gay Paree to the tropics, our jetsetters have searched the world to bring you a spectacle too big for one continent. It's First Class all the way with The Boston Babydolls. No passport required!

Boston Babydolls at Sea
A signature piece! A naughty nautical romp featuring pirates, mermaids, shipwrecks, stormy weather, and enough burlesque to shiver your timbers!

Boston Babydolls Gone Bad
When we're good, we're very, very good — but when we're bad, we're better. From bad little school girls to ladies of the evening, this film noir fantasy has it all! On of our most popular, and longest running themes.

The Classics
Only the best in burlesque, as only The Boston Babydolls can do it! The essence of burlesque — "Night Train", "Harlem Nocturne", "Moonglow", "Gotta' Get A Gimmick", and so much more. A crash course in the essentials of burlesque!

Heaven & Hell
Ascend the heights with the angelic Boston Babydolls for a luxurious event full of heavenly bodies and infernal temptations. Hypnotic and ethereal, the show rises and falls, culminating in a spectacular diabolical finale!

Hollywood & Divine
A favorite of film buffs, The Boston Babydolls will have you shouting "Hooray for Hollywood" by the end of this salute to the sirens of the silver screen.

Out for Blood
The Boston Babydolls trademark Halloween treat! We'll put a shiver down your spine with an evening of seductive 'trick or tease'. Flirtatious and just a little frightening, Out for Blood is to die for — at Halloween or any time of year!

The Slumber Party
A dreamy confection of silks and goosedown, The Slumber Party is an enchanting journey through Morpheus' realm.
