ARTS Pick: Burlesque in Bloom

Dust off your derbies and gather your garters, ladies and gents, because spring has sprung and it’s time to celebrate. What better way to kick off the most frisky of all seasons than an evening of vaudevillian delights presented and hosted by Richmond’s most titillating leading ladies? Burlesque in Bloom is a classic variety showcase featuring sideshow, live music, bawdy balderdash, and of course, lots of vintage va-va-va-voom.

Friday 5/2. 9pm, $12-17. The Jefferson Theater, 110 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 245-4980.
