Free production at INDUSTRIAL EVENT SPACE raises awareness of safer sex and funds for “International Condom Day” by AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

Update 2/25/23:

We just received this email ten minutes before showtime:

“We regret to inform you that the Westside Story Burlesque celebration scheduled for February 25, 2023, has been POSTPONED due to unsafe weather conditions in Las Vegas.”

“The show will now take place tomorrow, February 26, 2023, at the Fremont Country Club. Doors open at 6:30, and the show starts at 8:00.”

“And if you’re still looking to party tonight, come to Fremont Country Club from 6:30 – 9:00 for a meet and greet with the Westside Story Burlesque cast, engage with AHF & community organizations, and enjoy the bar. We hope to see you here tonight and/or tomorrow!”

Mark your calendars for Saturday, February 25th, when A WEST SIDE STORY BURLESQUE SHOW comes to Sin City. The adults-only production, currently performing throughout California, will land at THE INDUSTRIAL EVENT SPACE for one night only.

A bawdier take on the Sondheim/Bernstein musical and feature films of the same name, A WEST SIDE STORY BURLESQUE SHOW is presented by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. As the world’s largest AIDS organization, AHF currently provides medical care and/or services to over 1.7 million individuals in 45 countries worldwide.

“Through a kaleidoscope of colorful fan feathers, tightly cinched corsets, and a never-ending supply of condoms, this stunning burlesque show has it all!  The cast of powerhouse performers will wow the audience with suggestive yet informative dance numbers, all while promoting a positive message of prevention, sexual health, and wellness.”

Events like WEST SIDE STORY BURLESQUE are incredibly powerful, drawing on the emotional bond between our entertainment community and desperately-needed AIDS services. Golden Rainbow’s RIBBON FOR LIFE gala and AFAN’s Black and White Ball have become annual Las Vegas institutions for that very reason.

Far from being stuffy and preaching, WEST SIDE STORY BURLESQUE is a tongue-in-cheek salute to “International Condom Day”, created by AHF as “an innovative and lighthearted way to remind people that wearing a condom can prevent pregnancy and STDs, including HIV.”

“Featured numbers include “Gym Burlesque,” “Maria,” and “P***y Control.” The show will also focus on the conscious process of feeling passion, the decision of choosing to use or not to use a condom, and the ramifications associated. Each experience will have a featured performer who will guide the audience every step of the way.”

The tour was launched in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, February 11^th, and will stop in San Diego on Feb. 16 before arriving in Las Vegas. ICD-themed events will also be taking place in various countries across the globe.

A WEST SIDE STORY BURLESQUE performs at 7 pm on February 25th. Tickets are absolutely free and can be obtained by following this link. INDUSTRIAL EVENT SPACE is located at 2330 South Industrial Road near Resorts World.
