Leggy La Grande is enthralled to be dancing again, and picking up new wealthy clients in her third Burlesque show with... these people. Leggy emerged from the envious depths of the Department of Snobbery and B!tch3ry (they made her censor this) under the mentorship of world famous Mean Girl, Regina George. Leggy will always leave you wanting more of what you can afford because she only accepts the Benjamins. So enjoy the free samples you see and maybe you'll find that 100 dollar bill you didn't know you had after all. ;) When Leggy isn't being her bad a$$ self, she's living as her alter ego- which you can find her cosplay appearances on FB and IG as Amazon Phenomenon Cosplay.

But a disease that does not define us. Life has so much beauty in it ,  good energy and kindness to share with one another. Making memories with family and friends, is so precious. So Enjoy life! Love life! Live life! My continuous prayers and healing love to everyone battling this disease. 

All my love and huggies

Mercedes Bends is always on Santa’s nice list…NOT! What fun is that? Naughty is the only list she wants to be on. Mercedes demands attention when she walks in the room. Sexy, confident Intimidation is her super power right boys? 

 “Behind me is infinite power, before me endless possibilities.. So Cum take a test drive and feel how tight every turn feels in your hands.  Will you be my Santa and meet me under the mistletoe? You can remind me of how NAUGHTY I’ve been and how it feels so NICE! 

Bryan is thrilled to be back on the EPAC stage to be a little Naughty & Nice! Brianna, Mistress Button if you're Santa, made her debut as host of Burlesque 12: After Midnight and makes her co-directorial and choreographer debut with Naughty & Nice.

Brianna thanks her sister, Ashley, for birthing her into this crazy, amazing, fun, and supportive world of Burlesque and for being the best co-conspirator in this exciting new adventure. Lastly, to the cast of Burlesque, thank you for all the love and support you always provide and making magic this holiday. No stress! :-)

Through doing over 35 performances and working backstage for countless productions Nico is always looking forward to her next Burlesque the most.

Jordann Monaco AKA SINphony is one of the wonderful dancers that joined the burlesque cast at Epac in the beginning of 2024. She has been performing on stage since the age of 9, often through the endicott performing arts center. While she loves to dance, she is far more experienced with singing for her crowds. She was introduced to the burlesque family by her mother Linda Monaco AKA Smokin Josie who brought her daughter along to all of her performances as her personal makeup artist. After 5 years of being a makeup artist for her mom’s burlesque performances, she decided it was time to give it a shot and she could not be happier that she did!

As one of the OGs of Burlesque 1:
Emily Witman aka “_____” Layne (as it changes year to year depending on what major crisis is coming for her at the time 😈)… Jeannie always says my messages are too damn vague and it frustrates the shit outta her 😂 so ta-da… “Vague Layne” and the “St” well you know bc it’s Christmas 🎄 for this year’s shenanigans 🥴
The stage name of “Layne” always remains the same in honor of my Aunt Marlaynes’ Memory, who adored these performances and I was lucky enough to have her there with me the year before she left us far too soon…. 💔
I use these performances to escape the reality of the day to day mundane and finds love, acceptance, kindness and patience in any form I may take each year with the amazing cast, directors, choreographers, crew as well as the theatre.
Which I also consider a second home.
There’s very real therapy that goes on during the months leading up to the show both within myself and the feed back from my burlesque family.
It’s a validation and inspiration I’ve never found in anything else before or since…
Being a performer is something I was born with (unlike the amazing talent of dancing such as my cast mates) but putting on a show and throwing myself in to any character is when I feel I’ve really come alive! 💫🤩
I’d also love to take this opportunity to thank everyone who comes and supports me as well as this wonderful theatre every year!:
                My Mama -Melissa
                My Aunt-Michele.
                My little sister -Cassie.
                The BBF who’s been to a few but now only can do the Live Stream! (Thanks so much EPAC for that btw!! 🫶🏼)
                The Guy behind the Crazy- Dame.
                My Awesome hometown friends:
Shanna and Gale, Toni, Mr. And Mrs. Kunkle, Tina M. And ALL the other friends and family who have come out to show their support over the last 12 years!!
I love you all and can’t thank you enough! 💗
Thank you ALL again and let’s get crazy together and enjoy the SHOW! 💋👠💄

Brandon has always been fascinated with dance ever since he was a little kid. He always had fun playing just dance and dancing to music as early as he can remember. Brandon performed in Burlesque 12 and had so much fun that he decided to come back as a choreographer to showcase his passion and talent to the world. He is happy to work as a choreographer for this special production so that he can share his passion and pass it down to his friends at burlesque.

- Theresa’s involvement in Burlesque goes all the way back to year one, and Naughty & Nice marks her 9th performance on the EPAC Burlesque stage. She loves to dance, and she hopes that her joy comes across in every performance. Theresa is excited to share the stage with her Burlesque family once again, and is grateful for the directors, choreographers, stage crew and all the people who make this show possible year after year.

Naughty or nice? Red Velvet can do both! And she’s so ready to show you how she holiday Burlesque’s! But fair warning . . . it’s going to get hot in the kitchen . . . and it’s not just because we’re baking Christmas cookies!

Jèan Natalia is happy to be back to share the EPAC stage for burlesque 12.5. She’s sassy and full of fun but you’ll have to watch the show to see if she’s naughty or nice. 

Jen had never taken a dance lesson or auditioned for a show in her life, but after seeing Burlesque 10 in May 2022, she knew she had to be a part of the Burlesque family. She has since done Burlesque 11, 12 and “12.5.”  

The thrill of being part of this celebration of life and creativity pushed her to try other things that seem scary, including karaoke, flying a plane, and doing stand-up comedy throughout central NY (performing next at Hopshire Farm and Brewery on January 25, 2025).  You only live once… do all the things!

"Already took your man."

Bringing Rockette, dancing and shimmering through the snow vibes, she’s excited to choreograph her first burlesque number- “Underneath the Tree”!

Prepare to eat and gag on the eleganza! A feast for your eyes, zoom in on the bejeweled diva of Epac Burlesque, Bijou Bloom as she prances, sparkles and spins for you in Naughty and Nice this evening! This is her 5th burlesque show at the Endicott Performing Arts theater and she is tickled to be in the first annual Christmas spectacular. Bijou is an alluring fashion icon and goddess of glamour who was born to perform. She is a posh girlie who grew up gallivanting through the bustling city streets of Paris, navigating them like a runway. But don’t let the icy poise fool you.. Santa said though she is fierce, she is NICE! Tonight she will transform into the Sugar Plum Fairy, a role she has been preparing for her whole life, by being a graceful ballerina who makes a dramatic (late) entrance to the party and leaves you dazzled. She would like to thank her family for supporting her through her artistic endeavors, the cast for inspiring her and Anthony for rubbing her aching feet and being her best friend. Enjoy the show, bisous!
