Ferdinand: Boylesque Bullfight

See it if You’re with a group of friends celebrating or have an interest in avant-garde dance and costume.

Don't see it if You aren’t looking for homo erotic entertainment.

Also This would have been much more enjoyable if the guy in front of me hadn’t been texting through the whole show and the guy next to me hadn’t recorded the whole show on his phone. They obviously don’t care as there were at least half a dozen other phones in the air during the show recording and at the end they even announced how to tag “all those great pictures you took during the show”.... Read more Read less

See it if u want to see a troupe of athletic, nearly-naked, insanely talented men (and 1 show-stealing woman) dancing in a cheeky, energetic burlesque

Don't see it if u don't want to feel shamed into going to the gym [These guys are fit!]; you have issues w/gender fluidity; you have sphinctorestiacophobia.

See it if you want a fun evening watching barely clad chorus boys flaunt their stuff, plus one impressively acrobatic mezzo.

Don't see it if you want a play: this has no dialog & barely has a scenario.

Also This is no deeper than a Vegas floor show. But if you would like to see a series of wittily costumed dance numbers featuring scantily clad chorus boys, this is for you. Although full of innuendo, things are mostly too camp to feel sexy until the gender-bending finale. In the second act we are treated to the 1 female performer of the night as the matador, an impressively acrobatic mezzo soprano who just about steals the show.... Read more Read less

See it if You're up for Ferdinand the bull by way of an immersive male Folies Bergère with excellent dancers costumes atmosphere & bar; fun & unique.

Don't see it if Athletic, extremely talented male dancers in heels & thongs upset you. Otherwise no reason not to.

Also Company XIV's large & comfortable space in Brooklyn finally gives them the room to stretch and fully transport its audience instantly. Just entering the building, you're immediately in their world with no room to think about the one you just left outside. And a compelling, evocative one it is, all skin and absinthe, darkness, light, ballet and burlesque.

Director Austin McCormick's vision and choreography are clever, inventive, complex and difficult, all beautifully realized by an amazing male cast of dancers in amazing shape. A bit long in Act II, but the whole worth the trip to Bushwick and back.... Read more Read less

See it if You are very open about sexuality and like burlesque

See it if You want to see some Austin McCormick's choreo performed by the most beautiful cast of men. Also really fun acts with pole dancing and acro

Don't see it if You are offended by near-nudity. It's butt's out the whole time. Or if you want dialogue. This show is mainly music accompaniment.

See it if you like burlesque done with style & panache. These performers are talented & though the subject matter is fluff, it's staged with thought.

Don't see it if you hate burlesque, gay stuff, raunch, nudity, opera singing, dance, aerial & pole work, or fog machines. Of course, there are also drinks.

See it if This is easy. If scantily clad men dancing and writhing in high heels floats your boat, this is for you.

Don't see it if you are a prude. If you care about story. I think it’s about a “sensitive” bull who rather “play” than fight, but I’m not completely sure.

Also The theater, a garage made to feel like a decadent European cabaret, perfectly sets the mood. There are several awe-inspiring dance routines, even if some dancers are clearly more proficient than others. As is apparent from the constant “woo-hoos” from the audience, the sexiness does not disappoint. Just when the dancing threatens to feel repetitive, act two brings in live opera singing, including an upside down number and a bonkers Cardi-B cover. This is artful, witty, well-executed entertainment for those wanting something a little naughty. Although it may benefit from more variety, or a clearer story, it’s still great, hedonistic fun.... Read more Read less

See it if You are enticed by a male burlesque show in a Brooklyn garage decked out like an old fashioned cabaret.

Don't see it if You are offended by near nudity and raunchy humor. If burlesque done with guys isn’t your cup of tea.

Also This is an innovative, clever and enjoyable show. I liked the second act more, particularly the way it creatively incorporated live singing. The intermission performances were cute and funny. I feel the first act could use some work. The dancing, though amazing, became a little repetitive. Why no singing here? The story could also use development. Still, overall fun and well done.... Read more Read less
