What a busy and exciting start to the year! We here at Azure Entertainment have been kept very busy throughout February with the fantastic
Fringe World festival! With
eighteen shows, our fabulous performers
were very busy - often performing twice or more in one night!
Our talented troupe Lady Velvet Cabaret participated in two shows, both at the beautiful Treasury
venue in the heart of the Perth CBD. For many years a deserted and
damaged building, the Treasury was once more brought to life, but rather
than filling its halls with tax office workers, Fringe World filled
them with fun and frivolity, and thousands upon thousands of excited and
enthusiastic ticketholders! Audience members at our
Burlesque Garden
shows in the Treasury Cabaret were rewarded for their fashion-forward
clothing by our host Lucinda Panties, who gave away one best dressed
prize per night to our fashionable followers! Lucinda also took our
audience members on an enchanting journey through Lady Velvet Cabaret's
Burlesque Garden, featuring everything from the daintiest butterfly to
the most wild and seductive Poison Ivy. Our performers wowed crowds over
six shows, many of them completely sold-out!

We also presented the incredible
Lucha Royale,
a fast-paced, physically demanding and hilarious Mexican wrestling
show! Dreamy burlesque temptresses teamed up with flipping, flying masked Luchadores to
present a fun and crazy show, interspersed with delicate contortionism,
breathtaking burlesque and sexy snake dancing! Lucha Royale thrilled
thousands of audience members in its 18 show sell-out season at Fringe
World, and we hope to see lots more of our fantastic audience members at
Lucha's full-length shows at the WA Italian Club (the next one is June
16!).

Probably
the most exciting news from Fringe World is of course the results of
the hotly contested Fringe World awards! We are proud to announce that
the Lucha Royale has been awarded the Perth Now People's Choice Award!
We are so pleased with all our performers, whether members of Lady
Velvet Cabaret, Azure Entertainment or EPW Perth, who put in a huge
amount of effort night after night to make the Lucha Royale the best it
possibly could be! Thanks must also go to our awesome audience members
who cast their votes for us as their favourite Fringe World act!
Congratulations to all the other award winners for their respective
categories, and we can't wait for next year's festival!

With Love,
The Team at Azure Entertainment
