3, 2, 1...Press Play!

Press Play Burlesque Improv Competition is back for it's second year at the wonderful Cassette Nine in Auckland CBD. We had an incredible, sell out competition in 2018 which was full of laughs, frivolity, drama and the (very) unexpected! Va-Va-Voom Productions and Cassette Nine are shining up their dancing shoes, getting ready to put on another highly entertaining round of shenanigans for competitors and audience members alike.

How does Press Play work? Our eight contestants, all from around New Zealand, will choose a musical genre and then be given a random song from the genre they picked. Then, they'll be given an “ask for” from the audience (a suggestion as to how to perform, or what to include as a part of their routine) and then will have to shimmy, shake and improvise for their lives. The two highest scoring performers at the end of the night will then compete against each other in a battle royale of off-the-cuff burlesque to win the title of Press Play Champion 2019.

Burlesque dancing to RnB with Missy Elliot's 'Loose Control' with an ask for of the condiment "mayonnaise", anyone? Or perhaps some Pop with Britney Spears 'Stronger' with an ask for of a significant life event like "childbirth", perchance? These are just two of the eight examples of what happened last year - who knows what madness will strike this year! You'd best be there to find out.

Our venue for the evening is where all the kool kats hang, Cassette Nine. They promise to fill you with special cocktails, world famous teapots, tantalizing meals and other mouth-watering refreshments.

Our competitors for Press Play 2019 are:
- Simone V. (AK)
- Pandora Cherie (AK)
- Miss Mimesis (CH)
- Vola Tile (AK)
