Set at the end of the American Prohibition time, this new show is a unique recreation of the early 1930s entertainment, from music and dance style, to costumes and hairdos. During this show the audience can see live the charm of the vintage Hollywood glamour made famous by Greta Garbo, Ginger Rogers, Marlene Dietrich and other silver screen sirens. But when we travel back in time, we take the inspiration from the more modern films such as “Cabaret” and “Chicago”, mixing in that sexy jazzy Broadway style. The group acts are inspired by the great Busby Berkeley, one of the most famous movie musical directors and choreographers of the time, known for elaborate chorus lines. In this show, the Moonglow ladies will perform jazz and burlesque acts that intend to take you on a journey depicting the struggles that the showgirls faced during the Great Depression, and the struggle of the women now and then in finding their identity and a new place in the society. The line of androgynous sensuality and cross-dressing connects the acts throughout all five sets of the cabaret, sending the same message that many female performers of the 1930s tried to bringing across in their scandalous shows.
回到美国禁酒期末端的20世纪30年代，这个特殊的时期孕育了独特的音乐、舞蹈、服装、发型和娱乐表演形式。新秀中观众可重温复古好莱坞明星的魅力：葛丽泰·嘉宝（Greta Garbo），金格尔·罗杰斯（Ginger Rogers），玛琳·黛德丽（Marlene Dietrich）等；在回顾过去的同时我们的创作也从现代电影中汲取灵感，比如“卡巴莱Cabaret”和“芝加哥Chicago”，融入性感的爵士百老汇风格。集体舞表演的灵感来自伟大的巴斯比伯克利，他是当时最为著名的电影音乐导演和编舞家之一，以精心制作的歌舞而闻名。月光之城女郎们将爵士乐和滑稽表演结合，带你踏上歌舞女郎在大萧条期间所面临的斗争旅程，及女性在同社会争取女性权利的同时，并寻找自我。这一系列展示了女性的雄性一面，性感和雄性元素穿插其中，连接了五组歌舞表演，传达了30年代女演员们试图以讽刺表演形式披露社会中不公的丑闻。

Every cabaret show has to have an exotic dance act, and Miss Liwa la Fleur has just what it takes – a gorgeous oriental feather fan dance, the classic act made famous by Sally Rand and Noel Toy.

A 1930s show or film would not be complete without a tap dance piece. Following the tradition, Miss Trixie Royale has prepared a special tribute act to Marlene Dietrich, Josephine Baker and other female performers who dressed in men’s attire on stage, against the society norms of the time. This playful act leads the finale of the show, inspired by the main dance performance in the film “Victor / Victoria”.
