A first of its kind! Shimmery Burlesque is a groundbreaking Burlesque stage show that follows the life of Lady Shimmery, a dressmaker who becomes immersed in costuming for Burlesque. Throughout the entire show, captivating Burlesque numbers unfold, seamlessly weaving into the fabric of Lady Shimmery's narrative.The show begins in Lady Shimmery's workroom, inspired by the romance of old-fashioned dressing rooms, adorned with sewing machines and mirrors. A cast of twenty glisten with rhinestones, feathers and tassels! Audiences are then transported to the city of Paris, where timeless gardens, parasols, park benches, painters and French Cabaret provide the glamorous backdrop for the story of how Lady Shimmery fell in love with the art of vintage tease.

Written and Directed by Holly Mouat, Shimmery Burlesque debuted in 2022 to sold-out audiences and standing ovations. The show is based on her mother, Kerrie Schultz (Shimmery Couture) - the Head Costume Designer of the show. Cabaret singer Abbey Paige Williams takes the stage as Lady Shimmery, alongside a grand Burlesque ensemble. Shimmery is choreographed by award winning Maple Rose and Kimera Diamond, with lighting design by Jason Bovaird.

"The performer, my canvas. The stage, my gallery." - Lady Shimmery
