Salon Risqué: ReVulva A Burlesque cabaret where glamour meets espionage and the fate of the world rests in the hands of the fabulously fierce Curves O Plenty. With funds running dry and stakes running high, the Curves must go undercover—serving secrets, seduction, and swagger—to save the day. Featuring sensational guest stars from across Aotearoa, this is a high-camp, high-heat adventure is packed with cheeky comedy, sultry tease, and outrageous twists. Funny. Sexy. Slightly unhinged.
