World premiere of a totally new concept in Cabaret Burlesque. MaryJane O’Reilly’s ‘The Mouthfeel Show’. A wickedly hilarious and provocative blend of whisky and cabaret. 
 
Coming to its natural habitat of K Rd’s Anthology Lounge, two Friday May 14th back to back shows only ‘The Mouthfeel Show’ – TMS for short - is a totally unique experiential cabaret burlesque show. The audience, should they wish to, can sip their way through a flight of four carefully curated eclectic whiskeys ( there will be a special 4 half dram deal available from the bar) whose heady complexities (including their ‘mouthfeel’) are matched to a series of fiendishly clever short pieces of sexual provocation and dark comedy.

Drawing from MaryJane O'Reilly's celebrated neo burlesque show In Flagrante - The Mouthfeel Show is an all-female cast of highly trained dancers MC'd by the deliciously left field comic, professional MC and agent provocateur Ali Beal, whose talents also include opera - and telekinesis - only joking on the second one, who introduces each whisky to the audience, matching their individual characteristics and loquacious attributes to each section of the show; 

Fetish
Slapstick
Disruptive
Classic

Tightly costumed and performed to a luscious mix of tracks from the smoky covers of Klaus Waldeck's trip hop classic album Ballroom Stories, to Nick Cave's spooky Water's Edge and Laurie Anderson's haunting History of Memory. A specially commissioned track from renowned LA based Kiwi composer Andrew Keaghan fuses Sergio Leone with Mariachi and ‘Narcos’ latino beats for extra sleaze.
