1. Stars and Garters Burlesque

SA’s burgeoning burlesque scene has some hot talent — and you’ve ID’d the top contenders, people. All three winning troupes are tempting, but your first choice really seals the deal. With an all-star cast filled with pros from Jump-Start Performance Company (including Foxxy Blue Orchid, aka Dino Foxx, and Black Orchid, aka S.T. Shimi), Stars & Garters has an edge that takes the show beyond the bump and grind into arty, pan-sexual territory. Ooh la, la.
