Don't Tell Mama
Bad bunny burlesque bash April 18, 2025
ekko, utrecht
For this Easter show, Lola revealed her secret to the audience- that she came to Europe on a lie to her mother: that she would study to be a nun.
Starting out making her mom proud, Lola performs to 'Say A Little Prayer' by Aretha Franklin as a nun, blessing the audience and dancing, before lip syncing 'Don't Tell Mama' from Cabaret, where she transforms into her true showgirl self and begs the audience not to spill her secret.

Bad Bunny Burlesque Bash april 18, 2025
EkKO, Utrecht
Madison choreographed this group number that Lola performed in with the rest of The Cateye Cabaret dancers. All performers started off as innocent bunnies, dancing to Gene Autry's 'Peter Cottontail', giving out sweets and dancing in a pinnup fashion. Then the music changes to Candyman by Christina Aguilera and the bunnies start to get frisky- bringing in more sensual burlesque moves with some swing.

Madison choreographed this number that Lola also performed in- meant to celebrate the queerness of the Cateye Cabaret. Each performer was dressed in one colour of the progressive LGBTQ+ flag.
