June 16: Madame Zingara's Theater of Dreams!Friday night we spent all evening going through the dress-up boxes stashed around the house in preparation for our night out to Madame Zingara's Theater of Dreams on Saturday. The decision making in itself was an absolute riot -but nothing in comparison to last night!
Saturday morning we started out at China Mart to pick up the bling and fish-net stockings still missing from our decided outfits. Then went to the Neighbourgoods market, which is a saturday market near downtown which has locally made clothing, wine, and the most unbelievable food! It was similar to the version I went to in Cape Town but still great to poke around at and the people watching was out of control!
It was an absolute riot to make the trek from the parking lot to the theatre which required a long walk through through the mall (including the food court) where we (especially Mark) turned more than a few heads.
The show was in an antique belgian circus tent which was lined with mirrors and absolutely beautiful!They served dinner through-out the show. 5 courses in total, and all of them delicious.
The show itself had some incredible cirque-du-soiler -esque acrobatics/feats of strength/ contortionists/jugglers and trapeze artists (all in incredible costumes!) and all MC'd by a clown/host who I suspect is a great fan of the film Caberet!It also included several musical numbers by "Cathy Specific" (the glamourous drag queen 'flight-attendant' in the photo right) and her co-hostesses "holly" and "molly" . They were absolutely incredible - and really talented! The night ended with nearly the whole room dancing up on stage - it really was too much too be believed!
