You may think burlesque in Times Square is dead—but perhaps undead would be the more apt term. The art form has found a crossroads-of-the-world home at “haunted attraction” Times Scare, where a new weekly show, Dead Sexy, focuses on the weird, the creepy and the disturbing. Produced by the self-appointed mayor of burlesque, J
onny Porkpie, cohosted by Jeremy X. Halpern, and featuring performances from stars of the Gotham scene—including
Jo “Boobs” Weldon, pictured—the night’s aim is to bring burlesque both back to its roots and to a whole new audience.
