Hi, this is Bonnie Dunn. I produce Le Scandal. We have moved to a wonderful location, right on Theater Row.

The West Bank has been around for over 30 years, with excellent food and very professional and courteous staff.

No more long waits or bad seats. Show is on time, every time, all good seats, great food, and the best international acts from around the world.

Win fabulous burlesque prizes, too.

Love,

Miss Bonnie

Long line, mediocre show

by laidavidlai

The line getting to the show was horrible ! We were the 3rd couple standing in line, but people were cutting the line left and right ! Instead of serving the people on the line, the host kept serving the people cutting the line. Instead of giving out tickets they go to each person to check their names on the list, and then call out the names on admission. The noise was loud and difficult to hear. People cannot hear their names. Maybe they stand in the back, went to the bathroom, or simply disgusted and left. You can imagine what a fiasco it made.

The show was mediocre. None of the girls were pretty. The sword swallower was old and fat. The indian body twister kept doing his act on the floor that you cannot see. The MC was decent but most of the jokes was not very funny. The show was rather short too. Before you know it, they asked for some audience to go up the stage and dance with the girls. It became so boring that even the performers left the stage. That's how the show ended.

If you want to see the show, you must get in line early, because the theatre is small and some of the tables has blocked view to the stage. Even then, you may not get a good seat because the host serve the insiders first, not the people on the line !

• Pros: The fruit salad was decent
• Cons: Long line and mediocre show
