A glam-soaked burlesque cabaret riffing on Harry Styles, staged in the Newport Theater's 100-seat Lakeview room. From the producers behind "Life of Burlesque Girl," the night leans into disco-inspired sparkle and invites the crowd to bring the glam. It runs about 90 minutes, with doors at 6:30 and curtain at 7. The Newport is a cozy, artist-run stage where burlesque, drag, and variety share the spotlight.
