1920’s Speakeasy - [Back to Index]
|
|
|
|
The year is 1928 and your guests approach the doors of a Chicago Speakeasy armed with the secret password. They are frisked by Gino while the machine gun toting Tiny, looks on. When all concealed weapons have been confiscated guests enter and are greeted by cigarette girls, molls and other tough guys. Beautiful Ziegfeld Girls on pedestals adorn the room dressed in elaborate beaded and feathered creations. Careful if you flirt, one of them is probably Al Capone's girl! After being served an illegal libation your guests settle down to be entertained by the hottest floor show in Old Chicago. Each of the shows listed below are approximately 10 minutes in length and have a cast of; 3 to 6 female dancers and a male vocalist. Optional female vocalist and novelty entertainment are available.
Show A:

Dancers wear a hot pink costume alive with beads, fringe and rhinestones. Atop their heads they wear period wigs and silver hats with cascading ostrich plumes.
Puttin on the Ritz - A great number to open your event. A male vocalist in white tails is surrounded by gorgeous girls each dancing with 2 enormous pink plumed fans. Fabulous color and elegance.
Minnie the Moocher - The dancers smolder as our crooner sings about the notorious red hot hootchie kootcher. The audience is urged to echo Cab Calloway's refrain of Hidi Hidi Hidi Ho!
Tiger Rag - This Dixieland arrangement is explosive! A high-energy tribute to the dance craze of the Jazz age, the Charleston. Broadway caliber choreography and execution.
