Land of The Sweets: The Burlesque Nutcracker


Lily Verlaine and Jasper McCann are elated to announce the return of their award-winning wintertime spectacle, Land Of The Sweets: The Burlesque Nutcracker, to the illustrious Triple Door. Now in its 17th season, “Seattle’s Most Glamorous Holiday Tradition TM” has delighted more than a 100,000 holiday revelers since 2006, and was voted “The Best Burlesque In Western Washington” (King5).

All your favorite characters will be back, including Lily Verlaine’s Baroness of Bon-Bons, the light-juggling magic of Babette La Fave, the ever-loveable Snowflakes… and of course the swinginest band in the Land, The Nutcracker Nonette!

Verlaine & McCann have been working tirelessly to cultivate an amazing group of exceptional artists to make 2023’s season memorable for our new and returning guests. Fan-Favorite Patrick Jeffrey returns from Minneapolis to reprise his role as The Rat King, and will share the role with Tadger Sinclair, recently off his star turn as Monarch Butterfly in Through The Looking Glass. Our favorite Las Vegas showgirl Laurel Bordeaux will lace up her pointe shoes to return as Marzi the Shepherdess, and a number of fresh new faces from 2022 will light up the Corps du Burlesque. Lots of other surprises await… so prepare to be enchanted by Land Of The Sweets like never before!

We can’t wait to welcome you back to our magical land where jazz, ballet, striptease and song swirl together to delight you! With 36 performances this year, there’s more “Peace, Love, and Glamour” than ever before! Join us!
