Michigan burlesque troupe will be returning to Fargo and bringing with them the sort of weirdness they’ve been building on over the last decade. While they call themselves burlesque, the group offers much more through their mix of rock opera and sexy musical comedy. Local burlesque outfit Blue Belle’s Burlesque will perform as well.
