If you like a little nudity with your dinner, then Ivy Paige's 'Scandalous' is certainly worth a look.
Set in the basement of the swanky Volupté Bar, the waiters and cast all but grabbed you by the collar and pulled you into the show. With obviously limited resources, Ivy and her ladies of ill repute and slipping corsets did a great job in making the audience feel like they were involved...
Ivy was the highlight of the show, with her smoky voice and wicked humor she commanded the audience. I just wish I had seen more of her during the show. Like any good mistress, Ivy Paige knows how to delegate the work to her girls, but in her case it is a disappointment. She should spend more time onstage.
Highpoints of the evening included Tamara Feinstein and her vocal solo where she combined coquettishness with coloratura. The Marquis Gray, a fun little fop who made sporadic appearances through out the show, gave the impression early on that he would also steal it.
The climax was also not to be missed. A fun night was had by all and it was a very entertaining way to spend a meal. Next time, a bigger helping of Ivy and the Marquis please.
