Christmas SleighCabaret

Kansas City’s newest burlesque troupe puts the nip in nippy at tonight’s performance of Baby, It’s Cold Outside! Burlesque Downtown Underground, which is made up of professional actors, dancers and singers, made its debut at last summer’s Fringe Festival. After its successful run there, the group decided to make a holiday comeback. “It’s something fun and different, especially in Kansas City,” says Marisa MacKay, who produces, directs and choreographs the show. “Everyone does a holiday show, but this is something a little more fun for the corporate world.”Well, nothing says fun like fake snow. According to MacKay, the group stuffed 95 plastic bags of the stuff for the front-row seats to throw during a “Let It Snow” routine. Other suggestive seasonal delights will also take place this weekend on the H&R Block City Stage at Union Station (30 West Pershing Road). The show is for ages 21 and older; tickets cost $17 to $20.
