Pink Box Burlesque will once again take over the Bama Theatre this Friday for a night of dancing, comedy and live music.

The show will celebrate the 1920s by paying tribute to traditional vaudeville.

“The ladies and gents have tailored their acts to the cultural points of the 1920s: women’s suffrage, Prohibition, gentlemen and the heydays of traditional burlesque,” said Mama Dixie, madam of the Pink Box Burlesque troupe.

The doors will open at 7:30 p.m., the band will start at 8:30, and the show will begin at 9.

“We’re all really proud of this one,” Mama Dixie said. “Though all our performers represent their own time period, we all twisted and bent to the 1920s as an important era in American history.”

Mama Dixie said there will be a fan dance, guest singer and trumpet player, a murder, mayhem and lots of 1920s style.

“This show has been almost a year in the planning,” she said. “We’re all really enthusiastic about it.”

Mama Dixie said this is an important show for PBB because it is the farewell performance for P.W. Ragland, who plays a “jobless, foul-mouthed drunk that cares only about sex and booze,” according to the PBB website.

“We did it up right for him,” Mama Dixie said.

This is PBB’s fourth season in Tuscaloosa, and they perform about 12 original and review shows each year.

“We have been grateful for the positive response from the community,” Mama Dixie said.

Pink Box Burlesque has hosted a variety of events in Tuscaloosa, such as an annual masquerade ball, the Rocky Horror Picture Show, a live action performance of CLUE, and the occasional variety show.

“Each show is a challenge made worthwhile by how much our growing audience enjoys it,” Mama Dixie said.
