Slutcracker fans, are you bemoaning the fact that you can only unwrap your presents (or watch them unwrap themselves) once a year? Fret not: Lipstick Criminals and director Vanessa White (a.k.a. Sugar Dish), the dirty minds behind our favorite burlesque holiday pageant, are keeping the jiggle going all year round. This week, they return to Oberon with another sultry musical production. Previously, they set their sights on Tom Waits and Led Zeppelin, now they’re taking on Beyoncé for two nights of dance routines performed to “a bangin’ selection of the Queen Bey’s bootylicious catalog.” They’ve been keeping it mostly under wraps, but here’s a sneak peek:
