Cabaret Burlesque

(Whispered voice (female, close mic):
“Hush now… we’re almost ready for you…”

Footsteps on wood
A chair creaks
A match strikes

Soft spoken MC tone:
“Ladies… gentlemen… and everything in between…”
“…welcome in.”

→ band slowly locks into tempo

[VERSE 1]
The room is breathing before the lights come up
Champagne glasses catching faint reflections
Creamy silk, pulled across our skin
As the night remembers how to begin

[PRE-CHORUS]
You didn’t come here by accident
No one ever does
Every shadow in the room
Knows exactly what it was

(pause + brass swell into chorus)

[CHORUS]
Welcome to the Cabaret Burlesque
(step inside…)
Here’s your table, we’ll take your coat
as shampain begins to flow
(enjoy the show…)

Silk and smoke and silhouettes
Our show is the best you’ll ever get
Welcome… to the Cabaret Burlesque

[VERSE 2]
A band that hasn’t started is already playing
In the rhythm of heels on marble floors
A voice behind the curtain, an enticing laugh
Like it’s been waiting for you before

[BRIDGE]
Every heart here plays to the room
Every move undresses your mind
And when the curtain finally rises
(Whispered voice (female, close mic):
“You’ll discover all our, surprises”

[FINAL CHORUS]
Welcome to the Cabaret Burlesque…
Where nothing here is what it seems
Revealed in song and koreography
(chorus girls in tight unison, playful theatrical delivery)
It all begins inside your dreams.

[Outro]
For you it’s nothing but the best
Welcome to the Cabaret Burlesque

(Whispered voice (female ensemble, close mic):
“Welcome to the Cabaret Burlesque”
