Ladies of the Chorus
A Front-Row View Of The Burlesque World!
A warm, buoyant musical romance centered on a mother-daughter bond and the triumph of love across class lines in the burlesque world.
Former burlesque star May and her daughter Peggy dance in the chorus. When May has a fight with featured dancer Bubbles, Bubbles leaves the show and Peggy takes her place. When Peggy falls in love with wealthy Randy, May fears class differences may lead to misery.
