“I’m being blinded by the light reflecting off the nipple tassles”. Admittedly not a phrase you hear very often, but so very apt for a night of madcap, saucy entertainment. For two far-too-short hours, we were transported through an array of hip-swaying, belly-clutching, gasp-inducing entertainment. A blend of sexy sultriness mixed with a dollop of cheekiness, the Wunderbar Spectacular celebrated the wonderful kookiness of Vaudeville cabaret.” - Sarah Idle, Reviewing The Wunderbar Spectacular on Gather and Hunt

“Cheerfully risqué, The Wunderbar Spectacular stays comfortably within the humorous side of erotic, providing a constantly entertaining variety that easily holds the attention.” - Jesse Quaide, Reviewing ‘The Wunderbar Spectacular’ on Theatreview

“Lilly Loca’s Vaudeville Cabaret is possibly the finest representation of this long tradition (of Vaudeville)” - Jocelen Janon & Bryan Lowe from Light Traffic, “Vaudeville: The Book”, Blurb Publishing, 2011.
