It’s been several years since the Suicide Girls brand put on a touring burlesque show. Suicide Girls Blackheart Burlesque is now touring Canada, and features several dancers in skits sending up various pop culture totems, from Star Wars to Quentin Tarantino movies to superheroes.
The Snipe’s Abby Normal interviewed Suicide Girls co-founder Missy Suicide, who had this to say about the show:
“We did a burlesque show back in 2002-2006 that was very different from anything out there. We did Tarantino tributes, so like ‘Stuck In The Middle With You’ and the cop and the ear scene from Reservoir Dogs. So we were doing that back then. In the ensuing six or seven years since we last put on a tour there have been all these shows that have popped up everywhere like the Star Wars burlesque so we knew that when we put on this show again that we have to really up our game and make it incredible. There’s some really great choreography. The girls are all professionally trained dancers.”
