Maison Burlesque: Unwrapped is set to transform Brunswick Ballroom into a festive cabaret playground filled with glitter, character and theatrics.
The show runs as one of Maison Burlesque’s major end-of-year productions, bringing together teachers, performers and rising talents for a polished night of routines. On 19 December, Maison Burlesque: Unwrapped will unpack a full program of choreography, costume, humour and classic burlesque styling designed to fill the Ballroom with colour and personality.
Rather than treating each act as a standalone moment, Unwrapped is curated to move as one smooth, diverse and lively production. Music cues, lighting shifts and costume changes give each performance its own distinct flavour, while the show maintains a cohesive seasonal atmosphere throughout. The cabaret layout of Brunswick Ballroom — tables, balcony seating and warm stage lighting — helps create an immersive environment perfect for this kind of event.

Maison Burlesque: Unwrapped also provides a chance to see performers who have sharpened their craft through smaller showcases step into a bigger, more theatrical setting. Some are long-running favourites, while others bring fresh perspectives to the stage, giving the lineup a sense of variety without sacrificing polish. The festive touch adds an extra layer, with playful references to the season appearing across costumes, music choices and transitions.
For audiences, Unwrapped offers both spectacle and approachability — a show that feels celebratory without becoming overblown. It’s a night made for leaning in, enjoying the artistry and sharing the warmth of a community-focused performance space. As the year winds down and social calendars fill up, Maison Burlesque: Unwrapped stands out as a fun, theatrical alternative to another standard dinner or knock-off session, delivering glamour and craft in equal measure.
