The performance art of burlesque, once a faded form, has made a
comeback in the twenty-first century, and it has shimmied back to
life with a vengeance in Cleveland. Thanks to fans and
entrepreneurs, neo-burlesque has taken the stage--and it's more
inclusive, less seedy, and emphatically fun. Rust Belt Burlesque
traces the history of burlesque in Cleveland from the mid-1800s to
the present day, while also telling the story of Bella Sin, a
Mexican immigrant who largely drove Northeast Ohio's neo-burlesque
comeback. The historical center of Cleveland burlesque was the
iconic Roxy Theater on East Ninth Street. Here, in its
twentieth-century heyday, famed dancers like Blaze Starr and comics
like Red Skelton and Abbott and Costello entertained both regulars
and celebrity guests. Erin O'Brien's lively storytelling and Bob
Perkoski's color photos give readers a peek into the raucous Ohio
Burlesque Festival that packs the house at the Beachland Ballroom
every year. Today's burlies come in all shapes, ethnicities, and
orientations, drawing a legion of adoring fans. This is a show you
won't want to miss.
