Quinn Lemley's va va voomanism is in super high gear in her terrific B to B show. Ms. Lemley's got a hard stare that slips into a come hither purr as she prances, dances and thrills her audience with all the glamour of a by- gone era mixed with diesel fuel. Perfect for today's feminist. Looking gorgeous in equisitely created costumes, Quinn is clearly the director of her own musical life... no Mama Rose shouting out directions from off-stage. Quinn leads her four hilarious chorus girls in a sexual romp, complete with kicks, bumps and dirty jokes that never seem too dirty. Quinn's voice, though a bit one note, carries it off with a wide, deep sound and excellent acting chops. She chooses songs that provide a sort of history lessons of women's lives and evolution. The band is great too, tight and bright like the whole evening.

"The Burlesque to Broadway show was a first class production that I would recommend to any client looking for something fun and unique to add to their event calendar. The show was an excellent mix of quality singing, dancing and comedy all tied together in a theme that traveled down the memory lane of Burlesque history. The costumes were beautiful and the cast was very professional to work with. I am thrilled that we were able to work together. Quinn s voice is as beautiful and sincere as she is.""The Burlesque to Broadway show was a first class production that I would recommend to any client looking for something fun and unique to add to their event calendar.

We had so much fun. We laughed, shared a pink feathers boa between us, and laughed. The costume change was like a magic. How many layers of sequin dresses one could have on? The show was perfect for a group of girls/women to have a fablous night.

Quinn and her girls aim to entertain and hit the mark. From the shimmery feathery costumes to the sounds of the big band that accompanies them there is something to delight all the senses - and yes the burlesque theme cocktails are part of the fun! Quinn obviously loves these old standards and performs them from the heart. Go see - you'll have a great time - especially if she pulls you up on stage to learn to bump and grind and shimmy and shake!

Such a great show! My friends and I group of 8 people had the pleasure to catch Burlesque to Broadway. It was totally worth coming out of my winter hibernation. Quinn Lemely and her girls really know how to warm up a stage. All the elements were there, from first class singing and dancing and unexpected flashes of humor. The band was incredible and the costumes were delightful. Loved all the songs, especially I am a red hot Mama & Just Let yourself Go! The audience seemed really engaged, it was a great synergy between the Artist and the audience it was as if she was letting you in a great secret. It was intimate and engaging. I would definitely come back and see her if she comes back to New York. I had a smile on my face all day and I caught myself humming some of the tunes. Loved it all!

This show presents a beautiful message of strength and empowerment through a tribute to the amazing ladies of the burlesque tradition. Every performer glows with personality and a thrill to hear those great Broadway tunes performed by a big, live orchestra. Professional, presented with love and such great spirit, I highly recommend this production!

Opening Night of Burlesque to Broadway was Great Fun!! Quinn Lemley is a Beautiful & Dynamic performer. She mixes great music interwoven with classic vaudeville & endearing stories of growing up in Indiana. The costumes were fantastic, the staging was fun, and the 10 piece band along with the dancing girls completed my Burlesque experience. There is a fun audience participation moment and at the end of the show you get the eye popping moment you came for. Get yourself a Special Burlesque cocktail and enjoy. I think this would be a fun night for Bachelorette groups too.

I found out about the show on NY1 news and went to see Barlesque to Broadway fighting against melting snow and freezing rain with 3 girlfriends and all of us had a super fun. Perfect event for a girls night out. We laughed, screamed, and danced sharing a pink feather boa between us. We came to know each other better from who laughs on which corny joke first. We were especially impressed by the fact that the performers were real women of various body types (not photoshopped) and they all looked confident in their bodies. It made us feel that we could dance in a sequin dress and look as good as those womenn on stage. (Probably not, but at least it made us feel...) And the leading lady's costume changes were like a magic. Sequins after sequins. If you love sequins and feathers, you would love the show. Gilrs. Hit a happy hour somewhere close by and go to the show to have a blast. It's gonna be a fun girls night out.

Last night I saw Burlesque to Broadway at the Gramercy Theatre in NYC. I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this show. Quinn Lemley is an amazing performer. She has an incredible voice and you can tell that she has put her heart into the show. I learned so much about the history of Burlesque and how it empowered women. I loved the old fashioned corny jokes and the sexual innuendo. She and her girls and her big band really delivered. She even got people up and dancing which in New York is a tough act to pull off, but everyone seemed to catch her infectious spirit! This is a show that even my husband enjoyed. I want to come back and take my sisters and my mom. Catch it now before she really does go to Broadyway!

I have always been a lover of the Burlesque stars and this was wonderful trip down memory lane. I brought my friends and had an absolutely blast. The costumes were gorgeous as were the *girls* and Quinn. Very tastefully done and some fun audience "treats" at the end.

Well what a fabulous show this is. Classy with sexy risqué allowing the elements of Burlesque to shine through yet a show that won t give grandpa a heart attack! The story through song and costumes were magical and I wish the run was longer in Vancouver. Now I can t wait for them to come back just to see that energy and all those feathers! Yousa!

I have always loved burlesque and those who introduced it to me as a child (Gypsy Rose Lee, etc.)-thanks Ms. Lemley for being the next to carry the "teasing" torch using the costumes of feathers, sequins and tassels & making them "pop" through words, music and dance, making all of us want more, more, more! Ms. Lemley reminds the audience, "It's all about the tease"! Her show puts the tease back in striptease. Its alluring. The shows visuals make the heart happily palpitate (and maybe a few other organs as well-lol). While educating the audience with the history of this genre, Quinn Lemley in "Burlesque to Broadway keeps this form of entertainment current without losing any of its integrity. . I think Lemleys strength is her captivating ability to educate her audience about the subject while simultaneously and fully entertaining her guests: "Let her entertain you, Let her make you smile". As big as the majestic "State Theater" is Quinn embraces the audience in a way that makes it feel personal. What a gift! I'd see it again !!! TOTALLY ORIGINAL

This show was nothing like I thought it was going to be. It needed a lot less broadway and a lot more burlesque. The lead couldn't carry and tune, her back-ups were lousy, and the jokes were not funny. Who wants to hear that your grandma got you into burlesque? NOBODY. The only time there was really any burlesque in the show is when the back-ups would help the lead change, and even then it was terrible because they couldn't get her costumes on straight. I would never go to anything like this again. It was horrible at best.

By far the most high energy fun show I have had come to the theater since we reopened in 2010. I laughed and smiled with this interactive fun show that kept everyone on the edge of their seats screaming for more. I can hands down recommend this to anyone who loves singing dancing with a nice touch of humor. 5 stars All The Way!! Thank you Quinn for a memorable night of class act entertainment...

When my wife and I attended the show in Oneonta we weren't entirely sure what the night would hold. What a wonderful surprise this was. Quinn and her girls are amazing! The evening is packed with music, dance, humor and insights into the world that was Burlesque. So may classic songs performed by a great band and sung by very talented ladies. I have to say that I didn't want the evening to end. After the show I had the opportunity to meet Quinn and found her to be as engaging off the stage as she was on. She is increadible committed to her art which is obvious from the energy that she puts into this production. In short the show was wonderful and I look forward to another opportunity to go. Top notch & great fun!

A HISTORICAL-MUSICAL REVUE OF BURLESQUE COMES TO LIFE WITH THE STRONG VOCALS THE STAR QUINN LEMLEY. THE SHOW TAKE YOU ON A JOURNEY THROUGH THE HISTORY OF BURLESQUE WHEN GREAT STARS LIKE GYPSY ROSE, MAE WEST AND SO MANY OTHERS DOMINATED THE STAGE. THE COSTUMES ARE GORGEOUS AND TRULY FITTING OF THE OCCASION. THE 4 BACK UP SINGERS / DANCERS / ACTORS COMPLIMENT QUINN NICELY. I WAS VERY HAPPY I ATTENDED ON OPENING NIGHT IN NYC. IT EVOKED MEMORIES OF A TIME GONE BY WHEN STAGE ACTORS ENTERTAINED AUDIENCES. BURLESQUE TO BROADWAY IS TRUE SHOWMANSHIP. DON'T MISS THIS SHOW!

In a tribute to those fabulous ladies of Burlesque. we not only do we revisit those divas of yesteryear, we learn the history of the burlesque art through a top notch musical format! A fabulous big band backs the dazzling dancers and signers while the marvelous Quinn Lemley guides us through the facinating history of burlesque, and how it made it's way to Broadway! Adding a personal flair, Quinn and the girls will dazzle and delight all night long through excellent choreographed numbers, witty humor, an eclectic songbook that blends beautifully, and a sultry show that will leave you begging for more! If you're a history buff, a fan of the finer things in life, enjoy big band music, contemporary music, well orchestrated music and dance, beautiful ladies, great singing, witty humor, or a fan of the buffeteria, this is the show for you!!

Miss Lemley's modern take on classic burlesque is a fast paced, beautifully staged, sexy yet totally wholesome homage to the glorious gals of burlesque. She personalizes the songs, gags and feathers with her own family history, and elevates a performance form which people might think cheapened women by showing how it could be a vehicle for female empowerment. She is flanked by four beautiful and talented singer/dancers, and backed musically by an 11 piece band that fills the place like it was four times the size. You get more than your money's worth of top drawer entertainment. Only someone determined to be miserable could be anything other than delighted by this show. I came out from Chicago to see it in NYC and am very glad I did!

I caught up with Quinn and the girls at the Cutting Room on 11/10 and had an amazingly fun time. I had seen them at the Gramercy and wanted to check out the show again. I am glad I did. The production values are terrific and Quinn gives a finely tuned performance. She is in great voice. She is backed by a wonderful group of girls with tons of energy and plenty of TALENT. There is even audience interaction. The band was great and the costumes just sparkled with so many sequins and beads. You got to love those Big Pink Fans. It was a great night and I will try to go back again before the engagement ends. I totally recommend for a fun night out.

Going into the show, I was not sure what to expect, having the thinking of Burlesque being risqué, but intrigued by the Broadway part of the title, I decided to go. I could never have expected what I received... An absolutely fabulous 9 piece band, Quinn's girls, those gorgeous dancers who are actually talented singers, and of course, the star of the show, the lovely Ms. Quinn. I was blown away by the choreography not only of the band but the dancing! The whole show had your attention and created quite an evening to remember!! A must see for any fan of burlesque, big band, Quinn and her previous works, talented live musicians, dance choreography, or anyone looking for a real fun time!! The official album was released at the Broadway opening night, it really captures the show, just close your eyes and imagine....

You guys left me speechless, All I can muster out is a big Thank You to Quinn and the cast of Burlesque to Broadway. I attended the show last Friday and was blown away by the outstanding performance. I was truly amazed that Quinn could sing and perform the first set for an hour without even a break for water. And then continue in the same fashion for the next act then end in a truly explosive grand finale! I ll be back for your next tour too and I will be telling all my friends. It s hard to afford a night out in NYC these days but with Burlesque to Broadway being way less than those high end bank account breaking up town performances, Burlesque to Broadway is a must see! Quinn leads the pack through the best of burlesque history and blows out the house with her non stop vocals, dancing, gags, and on stage costume changes. I m a little sorry I missed out seeing the golden age of burlesque but this show made up for it! Special thanks to the rest of the cast for putting on an awesome performance. Quinn must set the bar and the cast is right up there with her. I loved Raz especially, she almost turned me to stone - ba dum bump\u2026.. Be sure to catch the show to figure out what that means. And the gorgeous blond Gracie, was right up there with her! I can t imagine why this show is not a NYC mainstay like stomp. Burlesque to Broadway should be doing at least 5 shows a week.

a fun, entertaining evening - great numbers, performances, choreography, orchestra and orchestration (I don't think there was a number where I wasn't moving at least one foot to the beat), costumes, and informative history of burlesque. Quinn Lemley is a great presence and her love of the work is infectious and talent tops. If you don't enjoy this excellently produced show and the performances, check your pulse. Absolutely highly recommended!

Cold Saturday night in Gotham, but boy did things heat up once I saw Quinn and her girls at the Gramercy in Burlesque to Broadway. Quinn is a natural talent who is vivacious, and can she sing and dance. She entices you with innuendo, and teases you with a promise and It's a promise this lady keeps. She and her girls bring the world of Burlesque to the stage with great songs, tight staging, terrific choreography and beautiful costumes that have sequins and feathers galore. A terrific night and I can't wait for a return engagement!!!

This show was absolutely fabulous in every way. Quinn and Company are highly professional in their presentation, their voices, their music, their gorgeous costumes, their commitment to excellence in every aspect of the show. They receive standing ovations for most every show they do no matter what State or Country they are in. I highly recommend this show to all who love music and love to be entertained by high quality professionals.

I was personally touched by Quinn Lemley's candor and talent. This is a kind of show that needs to be open always. This is good for everyone! the music, the musicians, the whole team were amazing. Good combination of music, beautiful customs, and a lots of fun. I will definitely go again and again to see the show. Next to me was an elder person who wanted to learn steps to seduce her husband. I thought it was funny to hear it. I went with my husband and he told her that this show may not be for her. She was talking bad and it hurt me because we were having so much fun. She stated that she is a musician and a producer. Then I understood that she may be there for other reasons than to have fun and I stopped paying attention to her. One thing Quinn, she did not spoil my night!!! It was amazing and I wish I can see you performing again soon. May God Bless you and your Girls!!!!!!!

I got up out of my sickbed to see this and I would do it again. Quinn Lemley is a star! She and her girls create magic onstage, and it never stops for a minute. Everything: performance, costumes, staging, energy, music, is first rate. What's so beautiful about Quinn and the show is that it goes beyond talent to heart. Her riffs on family are charming. Every movement is a delight. And when she sings "Dont Rain On My Parade" she makes it her own. Amazing!

My Saturday night was considerably spiced up by the striking grace and charm of Quinn Lemley and her girls in a flawless performance detailing the history of burlesque. Gramercy Theatre came alive with Quinn's beautiful singing and dancing, and her self-proclaimed corny jokes were perfectly timed and delivered with the skill of a vaudeville professional. The production quality of the show was also a thing of beauty, highlighting all of Quinn's remarkable talents on stage and allowing her to shine. It was particularly funny when audience members were ushered on stage to learn the rudiments of burlesque moves. Quinn's band was one of the best ensembles I've seen in quite a while, covering many different genres with skill and feeling. The perfect accompaniment for Quinn!!

Quinn Lemley possesses that unique star quality of yesteryear that this show displays to ultimate perfection. Not only is she lovely, but full of energy, warmth, and a passion for brining to life this truly unique show. As a whirlwind review of the history of burlesque and the amazing women who created this world of sexual (never sleazy!) entertainment, Burlesque to Broadway recreates them with sensational music, dancing and most of all, gorgeous ladies singing their hearts out and their costumes off! Not only a must-see for the lovers of Broadway standards, but for anyone who yearns for the glamour and stylish entertainment of a more elegant time.

It was a last minute decision to go to this show. A friend had told me about it. Boy, am I glad I went - What a show! Quinn Lemley was on stage for the entire show and she is very talented. Beautiful voice, and very nice legs. You will not be bored at this show. Overall, it was a great evening.

Went to see the show on an cold night, but within minutes Quinn's appearance not only warmed us up, but kept us hot through the whole evening, which finished with our dancing in the isle. Quinn is a terrific entertainer, dancer, singer and so beautiful. Loved learning the history of burlesque and her chorus line was stunning and funny. The costumes too were spectacular and could easily compete with Folie Bergere's

A wildly entertaining journey through the history of burlesque, led by the warm and wonderful Quinn Lemley. Quinn exquisitely performed a variety of songs, from standards to rock, backed by her amazing band and red hot chorus girls. Great songs, sensual moves, teasing humor, sequins, feathers--what more could you ask for?

It was really wonderful to see singer and NYC favorite redhead nightclub headliner Quinn Lemley return to New York City to burn up the stage last night at the Gramercy Theater after first falling for the Rita Hayworth dead ringer with her show The Heat Is On some years ago. Notably, it was truly impressive to see Quinn and her ensemble of appropriately period-correct curvy girls fly their boas in front of an INCREDIBLE big band, complete with a full screaming brass section that you don't often see with similar acts - a true barometer of the pedigree of the show. Also very clever and refreshing for Quinn to pay homage to the Burlesque headliners of a long gone New York and all the self-professed corny signature one liners and jokes that underscore Quinn's charming innocence despite what was then considered very risqué. Worth checking this show out if it comes through your city to get a taste of a long extinct form of entertainment that is headlined by a great entertainer who more than delivers - from her vocals, to the extensive choreography and a parade of costumes and feathers that dress up this enjoyable show. It would actually do well with a residence in Las Vegas or Atlantic City if these gals ever want a sit down engagement in a casino or nightclub.
