Ballets with a Twist is reinventing the glamour and excitement of classic entertainment. With its original mix of sparkling dance vignettes, intoxicating music, and exquisite costume design—the company stirs new life into every venue it visits.
Cocktail Hour: The Show, the company’s signature production, is a lively, visually stunning night-on-the-town experience. Suitable for audiences of all ages, the fun and fast-paced show transports theatergoers around the world, one dancing drink at a time.
Hailed as “inventive” by The Wall Street Journal, Cocktail Hour: The Show combines the magnetism of Hollywood’s Golden Age with a sleek 21st-century sensibility, capturing the timeless American spirit. “Witty and fantastic,” says The New York Times. “Pure pleasure,” raves BroadwayWorld. This pop-inspired performance launches the Shirley Temple, Martini, Manhattan, and more, off the drink menu and onto the stage.
It’s high-style fun for all ages!
Artistic Director and choreographer Marilyn Klaus formed Ballets with a Twist in association with composer Stephen Gaboury and costume designer Catherine Zehr. The company has performed its acclaimed signature production, Cocktail Hour: The Show, in a wide range of venues, from Lincoln Center and Playhouse Square to SoHo House and Manhattan nightclub Stage 48.
Cocktail Hour: The Show features original music by Grammy-nominated composer Stephen Gaboury. Also a producer and performer, Gaboury toured internationally with pop/rock icon Cyndi Lauper for more than a decade, and collaborated on selections in her hit Broadway musical, Kinky Boots. His compositions have been heard in film, on television, and in concert, and he has performed with many A-listers, including Patti Labelle, Suzanne Vega, and Ute Lemper.
Catherine Zehr is the artistic force behind the company’s costume design. Her creations evoke the origins and essence of each dance with dazzling colors and ornamentation. Zehr honed her skills while working at major American fashion houses, then by designing and manufacturing attire for her own label. She studied art and design at Washington University and New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology, where she and the company delivered the presentation “Designing Costumes for Ballets with a Twist” as part of The Museum at FIT’s Fashion Culture series.
Throughout the evening, beer, wine, and a special selection of drinks from the program will be available.
