Burlesque is the flaming phoenix of American theater traditions; the alcoholic-fueled free-for-all was effectively extinguished by Prohibition (damn those teetotalers and their fake middle class morality). But burlesque rose from the ashes with help from garter-strapped performers like Dita von Teese (Marilyn Manson’s ex-wife), who sexily sashays the fine line between titillating and profane. Experience modern burlesque–with a twist–at Noir Boudoir. The “killingest (drag) queen” herself, Ms. Nikki Trash, hosts the burlesque and drag show featuring 12 performers. Get ready to be teased and pleased–if you’re 18 and older, that is. Noir Boudoir kicks off 7 p.m. Thursday at Trees, 2709 Elm St. Tickets are $20. Visit treesdallas.com.
