A Red Falcon Christmas

White Elephant Burlesque appeared at the private Christmas function for Red Falcon Armouries. This was an exciting venture as not only did we love performing for the fabulous folk at RFA, but WEBS had never done a Christmas act, let alone an entire show! We had to be allowed to cheat, so a few nonseasonal numbers snuck in. Otherwise, the setlist was gay and bright as the very same decked halls. We had wrapping paper to tear off, noisemakers to blow, stockings to stuff, and wreaths to display. The premiere of the Christmas edition of the Infidelity Suite, Virus' creepy Butoh number, Holly's holly jolly Christmas, Tatters' tribute to Jack Skellington, Fae's Mama Claus, and a very special reindeer edition of Pony were amongst an all-highlights show.
