We were served appetizers and drinks before the show. The coconut shrimp were fantastic, and large. I found the Clown Car almost impossible to drink because it was so sweet, but honestly that should have been expected. The absinthe is also fantastic. Now to the show! I was impressed by the caliber of entertainment. The announcer brought so much energy and humor, and brought in the crowd in just the right ways. The dancers were fantastic; basically the entire 3 hours was choreographed down to each step. My favorite number was the mermaid and sailor one. The singers were also good. A lot of fun and great for an event like a birthday or bachelorette.

I think they have a room for shows and dinner too if you're into it. I had fried chicken and beignets that come with a spicy honey butter that was excellent. Spread it all over the chicken and you'll be happy. The beignets were a lil too firm for my liking but powdered sugar and syrup cures all. Definitely an interesting spot to hit if you're staying in the pikes place area. I'm sure it's fun to see a show too.

This is a very talented group of performers based in Seattle that is always a pleasure to see…read more I went last night to their Valentine's Show. I've seen several other shows, and I left just breathless about how they continue to be one of the most talented burlesque troops that I've ever gotten to see. It's a diverse group of gender/body/talent presentations, and it is easy to feel included in their show. Unlike other burlesque groups/theatres that directly compete with them, they really go an extra mile to play with the many different ways people can be sexy. Theatres they tend to play out of: Broadway Performance Hall, Triple Door, and I'm sure many others! I'm excited to see many of these talented performers in the Moisture Festival in March! Go see live theatre again and wear a mask! :)

An incredible experience and well-done revival of burlesque. I love that sexuality has taken on a…read morenew mainstream twist of acceptability and that these style of shows are cropping up all over the country. It also pleases me that shows like this can hold sold out performances all over the country. I was so excited when I moved to Seattle to hear that the cabaret scene was alive and well. And one of the top groups I heard of was The Atomic Bombshells. The only problem was that they were off traveling the country and I kept missing their shows in Seattle. I finally got to see them with a group of friends and was most impressed. First off, they have a gorgeous group of women with a variety of body types and charms. They take their time on beautiful costumes and very entertaining routines. You can tell some of them are professionally trained and talented. And those that don't excel as well in traditional dance make up for it with va-va-va-voom. While they may not rank up there with the world famous cabarets, like the Crazy Horse or Moulin Rouge, they do stay honest to their craft with campy acts and some seriously talented tassel twirling. I would highly suggest them for a romantic night out, a fun time with friends, or a perfect stress release for a hard week. So cool that they hang around to talk afterwards and even came over to thank us for showing up. Classy ladies.

I've enjoyed several of their dishes - chicken pad Thai, sea bass, potstickers, Indonesian beef, and assam prawns! The staff is wonderful!

There's plenty of room even at the bar style seating to have a full meal. Service is fast and timed well - you never have to wait for your bill - they all come and are processed before the show ends. Three stars for the food. It's expensive, a bit bland, and just not the right kind of food for this venue - to get vegetables and meat you have to share and coordinate which is fine if dining is the main event but not when you are eating in the dark. Every time I go I say to myself I will just get a drink and every time I forget - I'm writing this review to remind me.

Highly recommended.

You buy tips before you go in (in $40 increments) and they give you a stack of paper dollars to throw.

The Dark Cabaret Ensemble Invades Seattle !!! ["Is NO ONE…read moresafe at a Micro-Brewery anymore?!?"] SITREP Not content with conquering the City of San Francisco, Kat Robichaud lays sight upon Seattle too and takes over the night life when the Misfit Cabaret is in town! THE SETUP *Public Service Announcement!* Kat Bobichaud's MISFIT CABERET (aka "Kat's Cabaret") is NOT for everyone! [Nearly naked lady alert!] = NOT for the timid! (But you need it) = NOT for the weak of heart! (But there's medicine for that!) = NOT for moral or virtuous people, like clerics, priests, nuns, etc., but they need it! And oh hell, you MAY even see someone attired as such performing on stage here, as when a full-on EXORCISM is being conducted, so *BEWARE* oh yea, weak of heart. But if you can handle dirty talk, some raunch & nearly naked ladies, and you LIKE dirty talk, and raunch from these nearly naked ladies, and things excite you like horny life-size violin-performing dollies, and sexy bearded dancers, and demon-possessed aerial-suspension artists, than Kat's Cabaret, performing here at Hale's Palladium, is your Holy Place! "THE VOICE" Kat's voice is Sultry, Beautiful and AMAZING. And it should be surprise then that she was ON the show, "THE VOICE". So if you were scratching your head, trying to figure out why she looked so familiar, it's because she was on that show a few years back. THE MISFIT CABARET! The Misfit Cabaret is mainly in residence at the Z Space in the Mission District of San Francisco. For those of you following Kat and the Misfit Cabaret, you may remember that they were "in residence" previously at the Great Star Theatre in San Francisco's vaunted Chinatown. But Great Star had to shut down at one point, and so the Misfit Cabaret established a more stable residence at the Z Space. MY FUN INTERACTIONS WITH THE CABARET! Because Kat's Cabaret IS a traveling troupe of wacky misfits as well, to such far-flung international places like......Sacramento's Crocker Art Museum, I first met Kat and got to see the ensemble perform when they indulged SacTown with their performance of "Dark Cabaret". This was joy to the eyes & ears, as Kat and her ensemble paid tribute to the Cabaret-traditions of Berlin in the 1920s, but with a decidedly DARK edge to all of the performances. And so I've been hooked on the Misfits ever since. THE PROGRAMS! Always changing, shaking it up, hosted at fun venues, energized with BOTH resident & guest performers that love being part of Kat's world-renown Cabaret! And since they travel up and down the coast from SoCal and back up to Seattle, these kids have "STAMINA"! * A VERY SCARY MISFIT CABARET! Tonight's show was an Ode To The Magic Of Halloween! * No greater personage than Beetlejuice was our host! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kat-robichauds-misfit-cabaret-hales-palladium-seattle?select=iuF0DcNXTjIpvCrsTche1A&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w * There was an aerial exorcism! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kat-robichauds-misfit-cabaret-hales-palladium-seattle?select=8K2rko4rHNjBnj74fOp-eA&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w * A wonderful Bearded Dancer! * Sexy Burlesque Dancing! * Also Sexy Violin-plucking Dollie! * And what better way to conclude a performance than with the Final Scene of "Carrie" on Prom Night! (Oh YEAH!) Mad props to BAND and effervescent femme fatale WEDNESDAY from the Addams Family (deliciously bad Jordan Nathan, producer of Misfit Cabaret and MY favorite pinup). :D But it doesn't stop there: Kat & crew - besides creating new shows - keep other popular shows in rotation from their repertoire, such as... *CHRISTMAS STAR WARS GREMLINS EXTRAVAGANZA !!! My GAWD, it does NOT get any wackier & weirder, nor delightful & celebratory than a Christmas pageant with a female Wookie aerial artist, nasty Gremlins (puppets!!!), sexy burlesque performers, and KAT! All singing and/or performing their hearts out at Great Star Chinese Theatre in Chinatown - so there wasn't any surprise seeing a Chinese Dragon trooping down aisle and taking over stage - THIS ...is the kind of quality - and crazy - performances you can expect! *GRIMM I love "spooky!" I love "Maleficent". AND I went in March for my first time at Z Space, because, YES, I am a fan and I LOVE all things "KAT ROBICHAUD" now. Maleficent was a wonderful, kitschy twist on the tale of sleeping beauty, and it ALSO had puppets! Dark Dark Puppets! But it also had the whole host of OTHER exciting performances that you come to expect Kat, Misfit Cabaret, and the entire guest line-up artists, including in this instance, my friend THE UNWOMAN performing on her electronic cello. PATREON The site Patreon provides an avenue of participation to contribute - outside from mere ticket purchases and attendance - to the continued success of your favorite artists, which is why I am also a Patreon-contributor to the Misfit Cabaret.

The cabaret acts were much too short and too few and still they had Kat singing the whole time which would have been fine if they attempted to cohesively integrate it or pick songs that made sense with what was happening.

If you were thinking about going... don't. One of the worst things I've seen in a while.

Within that trial, Ernesto was able to show us a vision of our dance, and made us realize we could actually learn the skills needed to do something excellent. We had so much fun with our classes - Ernesto is fun, creative, patient, and thorough. The poor guy had to listen to our first dance song ad nauseam without a complaint! He was able to take two very basic dancers and pull together a fabulous and doable choreography- and we surprised all our guests at the wedding, including our parents and close friends. Definitely worth it - not only did it have purpose, but we had fun: it turned into feeling like a date vs another wedding task.

I took a beginning belly dance class with Delilah. It actually was not my first class in belly…read moredance, which is probably good, since I think I would have a hard time keeping up if it was. Delilah is obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about belly dance. So passionate, in fact, that she often forgets that there are new comers and she just dances and doesn't always catch when people are struggling. When you do interrupt her trance-like state of dancing and ask her how the heck she's moving like that, she will give you a phenomenal explanation. I've taken belly dance with 3 or 4 different teachers now and NO ONE has been able to properly explain shimmies the way she has. The space is really cool. I like the Persian rugs all over the floor. They keep your feet from hurting. Much nicer than doing it in a community center on a hard gym floor. I was a little put off my how often Delilah was late to our class. Once, she was almost 20 minutes late. She'll make up for it by giving you more time at the end. But still, it's no fun standing around outside the studio waiting for her. The time she was 20 minutes late, she also seemed very frazzled when she got there, like she just woke up from a nap. And in the process of teaching us some moves, she flashed us her cooch. That was kind of entertaining, actually. It was pretty amazing how great of a dancer she is, even in a half-awake state.
