Pink Box Burlesque performs ‘Clue’

The Pink Box Burlesque will be performing their stage, film and audience participation adaptation of “Clue” at the Bama Theatre tonight from 8 until 11 p.m.

Mama Dixie, madam of The Pink Box Burlesque, said the performance is a “Rocky Horror Picture Show”-esque performance that features a 1950s costume contest, live pre-show music by The PBB Band and burlesque performances.

“[The audience] will see men in dapper suits, women in corsets, and dancing and singing,” Dixie said. “There are scream-backs and props and noise makers that the audience can use to participate. They will be able to participate and interact with the performers that come into the audience.”

This performance is different from The Pink Box Burlesque’s usual performances, she said.

“We do ‘Rocky Horror’ every year. ‘Clue’ is a departure from our usual ensemble,” Dixie said. “It has a vaudeville feel. It’s a new show for us. We had to build it from the ground up.”

Dixie said students would enjoy tonight’s performance of “Clue.”

“[Burlesque] is a unique part of Tuscaloosa culture,” Dixie said. “If they like ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show,’ they will like our performance of ‘Clue.’”

Presale tickets are $12 and tickets at the door are $15. Audience members must be 18 and older.
