This was just a great, entertaining show with lots of dancing, good music, tits and a$$. As far as "true" burlesque is concerned though, it does fall a little short I must say. True burlesque, for me, involves a bit more of a mix of cheeky comedy and theater than what SG presented which was a series of very entertaining provocative dance numbers. They could use a good comic MC who's sole job it is to keep the audience entertained and introduce the acts, and if they had the budget for even some simple sets and decor, it would have elevated the show just that extra bit.
That being said, for what it was, it was really good. All the girls were gorgeous and I enjoyed seeing their individual personalities shine through. The acts included a great mix of sci-fi and fantasy themes, as well as pop culture and counter culture references.
All in all the Suicide Girls put on a good show, I hope they continue with this in the future and expand their budget to include a good MC, better costumes and sets and more girls <3
I would really give them more of a 3 1/2 star rating, with a Dita Von Teese show being a 5, but since there are no half star options I give them a 4. If you've ever seen a Dita Von Teese show, or other burlesque show with high production value the SG Blackheart burlesque show may fall short of your expectations.
