Ever wondered when someone is finally going to get around to staging
Doctor Who burlesque show? Come on, we all have.
It’s a programme that so readily lends itself to a burlesque
interpretation. Well, good news; the wait is over; Don’t Blink: A
Doctor Who Burlesque is performed by the Tango Gorilla Theatre, the
Chicago-based troupe responsible for the critically acclaimed The
Empire Brings Sexy Back.
The show follows the Doctor who – see what I did there? – is trying
solve the mystery of why he has suddenly become a she. Along
the journey there are rollerskating Daleks, Cyberwomen and the odd naked Ood.
Hurry though, as the
last show is on the 31st of May; tomorrow evening. Face it;
opportunities to see a naked Ood are very rare - and perhaps that’s something
we need to look at as a society – so if you’re in Chicago then go see it - just
try not to choke on a jellybaby.
