Lydia Thompson - Queen of Burlesque (Hardcover)

This inaugural volume in the new Forgotten Stars of the Musical Theatre series sets Lydia Thompson, queen of burlesque, under the spotlight. Outlandish tales of Lydia's touring burlesque company, the British Blondes, and such lurid episodes as her horsewhipping of a Chicago editor, a romance with a Russian Grand Duke, and her lesbian attacker have left her with a reputation as a bawdy burlesquer, but Kurt Gänzl argues that she was nothing of the kind. Through this biography, the reader will learn the whole and hitherto untold story of this multi-dimensional musical-theatre star.
