Returned from a summer in scenic Transylvania, The Geekenders have developed a taste for blood – and laughs!
Vancouver’s preeminent nerdlesque and theatre troupe sinks their teeth into Bram Stoker’s magnum-opus with ‘Dracula: A Musical Burlesque Comedy’ – a hilarious and cheeky take on the world’s most-famous gothic horror tale! This brand-new Nerdlesque Theatrical combines Geekenders’ trademark irreverence a la the Muppets, the polish and showmanship of a Vegas showgirl revue, with more bat-puns than you could shake a crucifix at.
‘Dracula: A Musical Burlesque Comedy’ features an original script and parody jukebox soundtrack written by Lyssa Strata, and a cast of some of Vancouver’s silliest and sassiest performers, vocalists, and fresh-faced newbies ready to have the most FANG-tastic time on stage.
Get into the blood-sucking fun and kick off your Halloween Festivities with us at The Historic Cultch Theatre from September 28 -29, 2024 [matinee shows at 2pm, evening shows at 7].
Called a “cult sensation” by Vancity Buzz and voted 2024’s ‘Best Burlesque Show’ by The Georgia Straight’s ‘Best Of Vancouver polls, Geekenders Performing Arts Society has taken the Canadian burlesque scene by storm. Since their debut in 2011, Geekenders has been in high demand, performing to packed audiences in Vancouver’s most fabulous venues, wowing over 85,000 audience members across British Columbia with their tightly-choreographed Vegas-style nerdlesque spectaculars and variety showcases.
Today, Geekenders is well-known for seamlessly integrating the worlds of body-positivity, burlesque, geekery, drag, queerlesque, dance, and musical theatre into their productions, incorporating well-known burlesque stars with passionate newcomers to create shows full of good humour, love for their source material, and a unique, whimsical style all their own.
