“FurrLesque” — a burlesque-style show featuring 14 guys who identify as bears, cubs, otters, wolves and even a honey badger — takes audiences on a journey through the lives of these hirsute gay men as they navigate the Boystown nightlife scene.
The cast of “FurrLesque” is made up of everyday guys who generally fit the “bear” stereotype of a large, hairy man. They range from experienced dancers to those who have never stepped foot on stage, and covers various forms of burlesque.
“While most of the show is rock music — sorry boys, no Lady Gaga or Britney Spears — we also feature a hip-hop number and a number using music from ‘The Barber of Seville,’ ” explained Rick Heintz, 39, the show’s producer. “We really worked hard to keep the ‘tease’ that is associated with burlesque in the show.”
