Hattiesburlesque was born out of a new friendship, forged five years ago, between artist and soulful songstress, Abigail Lenz Allen, and dance coach and choreographer Rebecca Chandler. Upon meeting, they instantly learned they shared an interest in live music, live dance performance, musical theatre and the local downtown scene. Hattiesburlesque is a high-energy burlesque style, music and dance review. While the performance is very tasteful and humorous, it is a nod to burlesque, and therefore, an adult-themed show.
