The “Golden Age” of Hollywood gets a queered, feminist revival with an all-star cast of Australia’s top burlesque and circus performers, including Dale Woodbridge-Brown (Briefs), Diesel Darling (Miss Burlesque NSW 2020), Porcelain Alice (Miss Burlesque NSW 2019), special guests Vallarie Van Gogh and Mama Medousa and surprises.
Creative Sydney powerhouse Nicol and Ford, team up with full-time producer and showgirl Porcelain Alice to celebrate the work of Australian Orry Kelly, the multi Academy Award-winning costume designer. Investigating 1930s and ‘40s Hollywood and forgotten stories of raw sexuality and queer romance.
Until 2014, Kelly was Australia’s most prolific Oscar-winner, creating gowns and garments for classic films including An American in Paris, Les Girls, Some Like It Hot and Casablanca. In Undressing Hollywood, Kelly’s iconic vintage costuming is brought to the stage by Nicol and Ford. Pasties sponsored by Eva Devore.
