Movie Buff III: A Cult-Film Burlesque Show

Welcome back to the wild, weird, and wonderfully seductive world of cult cinema and burlesque! At Movie Buff 3, the screen gets steamier as a new batch of offbeat characters hit the stage – with attitude, allure, and just enough glitter to blind a cinephile.

Margot Tenenbaum is here, chain smoking, still emotionally unavailable. But she’s peeling back more than her layers of ennui. Prepare for the slowest, most sultry emotional breakdown you’ve ever seen!  Maverick is flying dangerously low, oozing confidence and ready to give you a burlesque routine that breaks the sound barrier (and a few hearts). In a multiverse of madness, Evelyn Wang is back to remind us that even in a chaotic tangle of bagels, googly eyes, and hot dog fingers, sensuality reigns supreme! And yes, there will be duets – unforgettable, jaw-dropping reinterpretations of cinema’s most iconic scenes.

These aren’t just performances, they’re cinematic fever dreams brought to life. And when The Siren from TRON powers down, there’s no reboot. Snag your seat now!
