Top 10 Reasons to see Sugar Moonlight :: Number 7
Posted by Jana Edele | Filed under News
We've been counting down to the opening night of the Velvet Kittens' newest burlesque spectacular!
We're posting daily one reason why we think you should brave a Thursday night and see Sugar Moonlight. It's the Velvet Kittens. Tsk, tsk…as if you need any other reason.
Number 7: Yummy-yummy Spectacular Drink Specials!
With only a $5 cover, burlesque show, and drink specials…do you really have a reason to say no? Imagine sipping your appletini (or manhattan, or champagne, or beer…whatever), the gorgeous Lola Love stops at your table as she sings to you a sultry version of "Why Don't You Do Right," or the alluring Stevie Swan slinks and slithers by your seat with her fabulous feather boa. Oh, how Delicious!
Get a taste in advance! Hyena's Thursday night comedy shows are *free* at their Dallas location, in Mockingbird Station and next door to the Angelica Theater. Fantastic location, free comedy show, and drink specials every Thursday night.
Top 10 Reasons to see Sugar Moonlight :: Number 8
Posted by Jana Edele | Filed under News
We've already begun the count down to the opening night of the Velvet Kittens' newest burlesque spectacular! Eight days to go…and counting!
Everyday we'll post one reason why we think you should brave a Thursday night and see Sugar Moonlight. It's the Velvet Kittens. Tsk, tsk…as if you need any other reason.
Number 8: Bianca says so!
"It's a completely unique show in the DFW area. No one else is doing mainstream burlesque with a live band every week." The stunning Velvet Kitten burlesque dancer Bianca Suite gives her top reason why you should attend Sugar Moonlight.
This burlesque production features original professional choreography tailor-made for Sugar Moonlight and the Velvet Kittens. Each musical selection has been hand picked & arranged to set the mood on this fantasy showcase. Lavish, colorful and custom designed costuming decorates the dancers, and reflects the music, dancing, and setting of the evening. This innovative floor show provides a fresh, new image on the revival of "vintage" entertainment. With Sugar Moonlight housed exclusively in Hyena's and selected especially for the intimiate setting, you'll feel a heart beat away from the fabulous Kittens entertaining you for the evening, the "It" girls of burlesque.
So Reason Number 8 is Bianca says so! Bossy girl. Or, experience a new, unique burlesque show in DFW.

Top 10 Reasons to see Sugar Moonlight :: Number 9
Posted by Jana Edele | Filed under News
We've already begun the count down to the opening night of the Velvet Kittens' newest burlesque spectacular! Nine days to go…
Everyday we'll post one reason why we think you should brave a Thursday night and see Sugar Moonlight. It's the Velvet Kittens. Tsk, tsk…as if you need any other reason.
Number 9: The Swingin' Music
We asked our remarkable musical director Daniel Totten (aka Danny-Boy in our Rembrandt shows) what would be the top reason he would want to come see this show if he wasn't in it. His reply, "the music."
In case you didn't know, Sugar Moonlight features a live jazz band created especially for the VK's newest burlesque extravaganza. Jack Martinez (doghouse bass), James Miller (guitar & vocals), Randy Loworn (skins) and Daniel Totten (sax) come together to form the Shish Boom Band, providing the pulse behind the lovely and beautiful Kittens!
Music covered by the band ranges from early Swing and Jump Blues inspired material to €˜Rat Pack' Jazz standards that evoke the quintessential martini-infused club shenanigans of the early 60's. Spanking new burlesque musical & dance numbers premiering in Sugar Moonlight include: The swingin' Hey Pachuco, a sultry Why Don't You Do Right, the blues'y Boom, Boom and more!
Of course the music is going to be amazing. And the band…oh so excellent! So we thought we'd have a little more fun with this one…
Daniel, in the original Hyena's Red Light Burlesque Revue, was our musical director and sax player. However, there was one song in which poor Daniel had to dance around and play the cowbell. Even to this very day, over 4 years later, that's what our audience remembers about him from that show…
So we think you should stop to say hello to Daniel at Sugar Moonlight and tell him the music was sensational, and didn't he also play the cowbell in that Red Light show in Fort Worth??
Number 9: The Swingin' Music, or to torture Daniel and his cowbell playin' days
We'll take either.

Number 10: Impress your friends
When your friends come to tell you about this amazing burlesque show unlike anything they have ever seen, you'll take a sip of your scotch, a puff on your cigar and reply, "Dahling, I know all about it. I was there opening night. It's faaaabbb-u-lous. We should all go together." And they'll admire you for the burlesque dilettante that you are, and an expert judge in matters of taste.
Not only are you an educated authority on fine scotch, cigars, and local television programming in the metroplex, you're also an area burlesque expert and connoisseur of the best.
Ah hem, or they just may call you a burlesque snob, full of yourself, and annoying. It's a toss up really.
