You better hurry if you want to snatch tickets to the direct from Berlin cabaret show coming to The Triple Door this Friday and Saturday, September 16 and 17….there’s only a handful of tickets left for any of the three shows of “Le Pustra’s Naughty Salon” being brought to Seattle by local producer Mark Siano. And, it looks like it’s gonna be a deliciously decadent night of exotic Berlin style cabaret!

And, yes, it’s going to be reminiscent of beloved Broadway musical/Liza Minnelli starring movie CABARET but the REAL DEAL is a lot…darker. Grittier. Naughtier. Bolder. After all, Berlin Kabarett was born during the topsy turvy years of the Weimar Republic, that period from the end of the First World War to the rise of the Nazis in 1933 when Berlin dealt with revolution, runaway inflation, corruption, rampant crime, poverty, the sexual revolution and non-stop political and social instability.

During this period, amazing night clubs were built and amazing artists appeared on the scene to create new forms of art and self-expression. While many of these clubs were small holes in the wall, others like The Eldorado were enormous pleasure palaces with multiple floors and rooms of themed entertainment featuring all sorts of illicit pleasures including all expressions of gender and sexuality.

More from producer Mark Siano:

When I visited Europe in the spring of 2019, I went to Berlin with the intention of writing a new cabaret show. Puzzle pieces quickly fell into place and it was clear that all roads led to the historic Ballhaus Berlin Theater.

Ballhaus Berlin is home the Berlin’s most renowned Cabaret show. The one everyone was talking about – Le Pustra’s Kabarett der Namenlosen (Cabaret of the Nameless).
Le Pustra was everything I had hoped to find, as an American in Berlin. Late and later nights filled with smoke and art; where meeting a stranger was as easy as picking up the old-timey telephone on the table.

Now, at long last, Le Pustra is coming to Seattle. With my longtime producing partner Opal Peachey, we are inviting you to join us for THE NAUGHTY SALON (Frecher Salon). One weekend only at the Triple Door.

Let’s show these Berliners a good time! I know my people will represent and we can’t wait to party with all of you.
