Dateline: 1938!
After shutting down NY’s striptease shows, an ambitious city official turns his prudish attentions to Coney Island, scheming to terminate the 10-in-1, the thrill rides, the midway games, and everything else the People’s Playground is famous for! It’s up to the Flim Flam Sideshow's house doctor, a boardwalk grifter, and a suspiciously silent merchant of wieners to thwart the pernicious politico … with burlesque!
Classic comedy meets carny meets the ol' bump-n-grind in this burlesque tribute to the Marx Brothers. This madcap frolic kicked off the 2024 Burlesque at the Beach weekly summer season with an unprecedented 3 night run as part of MarxFest 2024.
