The show was amazing, but the smell of the sage was too much. It was burning my eyes, and the smell was very strong. I think they should do much less because not everyone could tolerate smells and the burning effect of the eyes.

Petite Rouge was the show that I saw a couple of weeks ago and it was amazing! I took my sister here for her birthday and honestly was not sure what to expect. We were both blown away by the show. It's very adult, super sexy and I feel there is something that everyone would appreciate. There is singing, dancing and just all out theatre. Highly recommend and will come again. My only critique is the drinks are small for the price. That being said, the drinks are good. Everyone is super friendly. The performers are also the ushers and bartenders. Imagine my surprise when I saw the bartender on stage, wow.

とても素晴らしいショーでした。洗練されたパフォーマーや歌姫の歌声、ドレスアップした女性客の皆さん、会場の雰囲気、経験したことは一生の思い出になりました。英語が全くできない事を伝えても快く対応してくれてしっかりエスコートしてくれました。サービスの質の高さがうか伺えます。上質な大人の社交場です。日本の皆さんに是非体験してもらいたい世界です。

Amazing show of art, skill, athleticism and fearlessness to stand on business when it comes to freedom to express one's self. I really enjoyed this show and respect this place for how they present themselves. You were incredible, thank you for having us.

XIV provides an experience Broadway can't touch. Absolutely adore every production I attend. The talent, the art and the beauty is intimately romantic and mesmerizing.

I went to Petite Rouge on a Thursday. The house was quite packed. The performers do everything from serving alcohol to clearing glass ware. The place itself is beautiful with well thought out decor. The seats were comfortable and there's actually no bad seat in the house. The show itself was amazing and hot! Beautiful people dancing all around you, with singers that have wonderful voices and some acrobatics to boot. Every person on that stage was extremely talented. The show surely tantalizes the senses. I highly recommend it! No matter what the show is.

This place was great. It felt seductive and sexy. The smell of incense and lighting. I sat right by the stage and you could feel everything the passion in the dancing and the singing.

You guys were spectacular! The singers were amazing and the costumes were out of this world. The performances were captivating and your artists truly looked like they loved the performances they were putting on and having fun. That’s so hard after over a hundred shows, congratulations for that as well. My partner is a circus artist in London and brought me to your show and I loved every minute of it. Shout out to your lighting person as well, truly made it come alive. Keep up the great work.

Austin's productions are always top notch. Performers are always great...and friendly too. Finding a slightly fun way to tell the different childhood stories we were familiar with is a great touch we can all appreciate!

Highly entertaining and absolutely recommended if you like a good burlesque show. Great artists, high production value and the atmosphere is delicious. The entire ensemble was a joy to watch perform but the stand outs were little red, the belly dancer with excellent balancing skills, the two singers and the towering gentleman that just reminded me of officer Crabtree, yes, that is an allo allo reference. In all, we had a ball there and may look into going for nutcracker rouge.

The show was amazing! Definitely 10 out of 10! The entertainers greetings guests at the front, interacting throughout, and mingling after, was a total vibe. The performance was gorgeous. I 100% recommend it, and will be returning for more 💕

Beautiful show with an original, creative take on the Little Red Riding Hood story. Dancers, singer, and aerialists are all stunning. The costumes are divine! Phil von Awesome’s depiction of the grandmother is a must-see! Be sure to get your lip print read by the magical tarot card reader!

OUT Magazine: most romantic queer date

Reality Stars Share Dating DOs and DONTs

By Daniel Reynolds

“My most romantic queer date was definitely when my fiancée surprised me for dinner on my birthday with this queer off-Broadway show in Bushwick. It was the most spectacular show I’ve ever seen. It was called Nutcracker Rouge, and I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time.” – Lexi Goldberg from The Ultimatum: Queer Love season 1
