Burlesque to Broadway brings back the fun, excitement, gaiety of the Burlesque era as Quinn Lemley brings to life the songs and music of all the characters from that gilded time when Mae West , Sally Rand and Gypsy Rose Lee and others were captivating audiences. It was an outrageous world where humor and attitude prevailed in high energy, and this fast-paced musical extravaganza presents one show stopping hit after another. Sequins, feathers, gorgeous girls and of course, Quinn, pay homage to the music and that world that was called Burlesque.

Quinn is a favorite in the top clubs of New York including the noted B.B. Kings Blues Club.

Born in the heart of America, Indiana, Quinn came from a family in the catering business so her first love and interest was food and wine. Her family then moved to France where she went to school and studied opera. Her love of theatre, movies and the stars of the silver screen came from “Granny Lemley” who would introduce her to the likes of legendary movie stars including Rita Hayworth, Mae West and Gypsy Rose Lee. Moving back to the U.S. and New York, Quinn studied at NYU Tisch School of the Arts with interest towards film and television production. When she is not performing, Quinn loves to entertain, produce special events and work on her many projects including Burlesque To Broadway, which is set to begin a national tour following the Lehman Center engagement.

Come share the fun as vivacious Quinn Lemley along with her sizzling back up girls and band sing and dance up a storm with such unforgettable hits such as “Hey Big Spender”, “Ten Cents a Dance”, “Let Me Entertain You”, “My Man”, “My Heart Belongs to Daddy” and many other surprises. This fast paced glamorous Vegas style production is not to be missed.
