Nocturnal Dream Shows presents Les Cockettes Folies de Paris October 9th & 10th at
the Palace Theatre, read the sylized black and white poster that John Rothermel
designed under his nom de plume, Violet Rae. His graphics featured a Ziegfeld
girl with a dick hidden in the folds of her skirt which promised the usual Cockette
fare, only this time smothered in bernais sauce. Although the follies show was au
courant, it might as well have been July 14th in the year 1789, as the performance
advertised became a cause celebre for Hibiscus and if there had been a Bastille to storm,
he would have done so, high heels and all.
Edith Piaf and the Mad Woman of Chaillot are just two of the fabulous French women
who's lives are portrayed in this tour-de-force can-can of a show celebrating French
song and sentiment, throughout history. From a silent tableau of Garrance and Baptiste,
to the recreation of the glamour of the Follies Bergere, the exquisite costumes and
glittered headdresses will have you strutting down the Avenue Des Champs Elysees.
