Lili's Burlesque Revue
"Vintage Entertainment with a Modern Twist"
Lili's Burlesque Revue is the Twin Cities' premiere burlesque and cabaret troupe, where the old-time striptease is coy, playful and just a wee bit naughty. The live music and songs are standards you've heard your grandparents sing or originals with a wry vintage twist.
Lili's offers a mixture of the old and the new, serving up plentiful portions of burlesque, cabaret and vaudeville, with a little circus on the side. In a single performance, audiences can experience a delectable smorgasbord of striptease, live music, magic, fire-eating and bull-whip artistry, just to name a few.
Members of the core cast have performed together since August 2003 and in May 2004 officially formed as Lili's Burlesque Revue. The troupe's name is a tribute to burlesque legend and Minnesota native Lili St. Cyr. The troupe has expanded to include a regular cast of 15, a rotating cast of more than 40, and special guests from the U.S. and abroad.

Lili's in the News
Star Tribune
"Lili's is one of Minneapolis' sub-cultural gems"
"For performers, Lili's is a labor of love. For patrons, it's a step back 60 years to Vaudeville's coy sexual tease."
Lavender Magazine
"Props, music, and costuming are used to full advantage, producing playful, sensual striptease that looks nothing like the silicone-infused variety. This is sexy, not dirty."
"The house band... is awesome. Nearly the whole joint breaks into a spontaneous bout of dancing."
The Rake
"The near-capacity crowd, about sixty men and women, yowl and applaud..."
"Lili's is 'the Land of Peekaboo'"
"...the show has an innocent, PG-13 feel. Lili's is a variety show, mixing bawdy comedy, clowning, mildly suggestive dancing, and music."
