One of the most successful events at the new Luminato Festival of Arts & Creativity is the SpeigelTentn'tavern at Harbourfront. The Speigel tent is a recreation of a 1920s cabaret tent, where you settle in for drinks and a show. And what a show - it's like being dropped into the middle of The Kit Kat Klub from the musical "Cabaret". It's a mix of vaudeville, burlesque, and circus, with a touch of decadent delight and titillation:

Featuring the naughtiest show girls in town, bawdy beefcakes and daring divas, this unique 'tent of mirrors' houses top notch specialty numbers, gags, skits and bits, musical parodies, spicy scenes, charming chanteuses, acrobats n' aerialists, and visual delights, all wrapped up under the ballooning velvet canopy of this nostalgic wooden cabaret tent, designed in Belgium in the 1920s.

The event is ticketed $25 in the evenings and the remaining shows for Luminato are selling out. But good news as it appears, according to a segment on Breakfast Television, the SpiegelTentn'Tavern will extend its run until July 1st. Ticket and schedule info hasn't been updated on Ticketmaster or Harbourfront's sites yet, but I believe the show will continue Thurs - Sun evenings until the end of the month.
