Professional Entertainment, Selected for the Room
Burlesque does not have one setting. A playful private celebration and a leadership gala should not receive the same performance treatment.
Vaudezilla can adjust performer selection, wardrobe, choreography, presentation and guest interaction to suit the tone of the event. The goal is not simply to send a dancer. It is to make the entertainment feel intentional in the room.
You do not need to choose an artist before contacting us. Tell us about your audience and atmosphere, and we will recommend the performer or cast that fits.
Where Burlesque Works Beautifully
The format changes with the room. These are some of the most common places Vaudezilla-style burlesque and cabaret entertainment belongs.
What Can the Booking Feel Like?
A Featured Moment
A dramatic entrance, a polished solo act and a memorable focal point without turning the entire event into a show.
Atmosphere + Feature
Showgirls, flappers or theatrical characters establish the mood before a featured performance lands later in the evening.
A Complete Cabaret World
Multiple performers, hosts, music, characters and theatrical direction built into the flow of a larger celebration.
Why Hire Through Vaudezilla?
Casting
We recommend artists based on the room, audience, creative direction and logistics rather than handing you an anonymous roster.
Creative Coordination
Music, costuming, entrances, performance timing and interaction can be coordinated so the entertainment feels coherent.
Production Support
Depending on scope, Vaudezilla can coordinate venue communication, technical planning, rehearsal, backup planning and one point of contact for the cast.
The goal: the entertainment should feel like it belongs in your event.
How Booking Works
1. Tell Us About the Room

2. We Recommend the Format
We suggest the performer, cast or production structure that makes sense for your audience and event flow.
3. Reserve the Date
Review the proposal, sign the agreement and submit the deposit. Vaudezilla coordinates the entertainment from there.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a burlesque dancer in Chicago?
Featured Vaudezilla burlesque entertainment begins around $795. Multi-performer experiences typically begin around $3,500, while larger custom entertainment productions are commonly around $7,500+. Final pricing depends on performer count, location, format, timing and level of customization.
Is burlesque appropriate for a corporate event?
Yes. Performer selection, costuming, choreography and interaction can be adjusted for the audience and tone of the event. A leadership gala and a private birthday do not need the same presentation.

A featured act commonly runs approximately five to ten minutes. A complete booking can also include hosting, atmosphere, guest interaction or multiple performance moments.
Can you create a complete private burlesque show?
Yes. Vaudezilla can build a private cabaret with multiple performers, hosting, music, costuming and creative direction, or expand the concept into a larger custom production.
Can you match a theme or dress code?
Yes. Vaudezilla can select performers and wardrobe around the event’s creative direction, from polished modern cabaret to 1920s speakeasy and theatrical character-driven experiences.
Do you travel outside Chicago?
Yes. Vaudezilla serves Chicago, the surrounding suburbs, the Midwest and select destination events.
