Did you know Eat the Cake was founded by four friends, all of them women? It’s not a coincidence if our first show is centered around one of the most famous French women! We’re determined to showcase the many complex women who have made history in our shows, starting with Marie-Antoinette.

Ladies of Versailles is an opportunity for you to meet and interact with the Queen and her favorites! Spend this unique experience with your loved ones and book an experience now!

Bonjour mes chéri(e)s! (English below)

Je sais, ça fait trop longtemps, mais nous avons d’excellentes nouvelles! Pendant 10 ans, Burlesque Moulin nous a beaucoup appris, tant sur le monde du spectacle, l’art de raconter des histoires, que sur le bonheur de créer une vraie communauté autour d’un projet. Cela nous a donné envie de voir les choses en encore plus grand, et depuis un an, nous travaillons sur un spectacle immersif, “Let Them Eat Cake” (“Qu’ils mangent de la brioche!”), une fête qui vous permettra de revivre le glamour de la cour de Marie-Antoinette!

Qu’entendons-nous par “immersif”? Let Them Eat Cake mélange les acteurs et les participants en une pâte si moelleuse qu’il est impossible de savoir qui est qui! Costume, maquillage… nous nous occupons de tout pour vous transformer selon le plus pur raffinement du 18ème siècle, avant de vous emmener dans une fête royale où vous pourrez passer du bon temps avec des personnages historiques tels que Louis XVI, Lafayette, et bien sûr, Marie-Antoinette. Et tout cela avec tout le fun, le panache et le peps auquel Burlesque Moulin s’est toujours si bien prêté!

Nous refusons de laisser la crise actuelle nous empêcher de nous amuser, et nous sommes donc en train de transformer notre spectacle en diverses expériences en ligne. Dès maintenant, vous pouvez regarder notre série “Cocktails with the Court” sur la page Facebook Let Them Eat Cake - the show, des épisodes de 30mn qui vous permettent de prendre un verre et d’en apprendre plus sur les personnages de notre spectacle. Vous pouvez aussi vous inscrire à notre newsletter et recevoir la recette du gâteau préféré de Marie-Antoinette sur www.ltectheshow.com. Et ce n’est que le début!

Vous nous avez tellement manqué, et nous avons très envie de vous embarquer dans cette nouvelle aventure. Rejoignez notre nouvelle page Facebook pour en savoir plus, et passez nous dire bonjour!

Bisous bisous!

Hello my darlings!

It’s been so long, and we have such exciting news! The decade we spent working on Burlesque Moulin have taught us so much about showmanship, community, storytelling, leading us to take things to the next level, into a truly royal affair. For the past year, we’ve been hard at work building an immersive show, “Let Them Eat Cake”, a party that enables you to relive the glamorous hours of the court of Marie-Antoinette!

How immersive, you ask? Let Them Eat Cake melts the performers and spectators like butter and sugar until you can’t tell who is who! We will dress you, do your makeup, fully transform you into your finest 18th century noble self, and take you into the most amazing party worthy of Versailles itself, surrounded by historical figures such as Louis XVI, le marquis de Lafayette, and of course, Marie-Antoinette. All that packed with the fun, cheekiness and fanfare that Burlesque Moulin was so good at!

We refuse to let the current global crisis put an end to fun, so we’ve been busy taking our show online in a variety of formats. Right now, you can check our Cocktails with the Court videos on our “Let Them Eat Cake - the show” page and enjoy 30min chunks of fun with the characters of our show. Plus, you can sign up to receive our newsletter to receive Marie Antoinette’s favorite cake recipe, www.ltectheshow.com! And there are plenty more surprises in store!

We’ve missed you like crazy, and really hope to take you with us on this new thrilling adventure. To get the latest updates, make sure you follow our new page, and don’t be a stranger!

Bisous bisous!

Gotta love Mother Christmas!

A festive poem, by Roald Dahl:

"Where art thou, Mother Christmas?
I only wish I knew
Why Father should get all the praise
And no one mentions you.

I'll bet you buy the presents
And wrap them large and small
While all the time that rotten swine
Pretends he's done it all.

So Hail To Mother Christmas
Who shoulders all the work!
And down with Father Christmas,
That unmitigated jerk!"

Not Halloween-related at all, but too good not to share :)

Full transcript: Grace Ann

"I just commented this on a transphobic post that was all like, 'In a sexual species, females have two X chromosomes and males have an X and a Y, I'm not a bigot it's just science.' I'm a science teacher so I responded with this.

"First of all, in a sexual species, you can have females be XX and males be X (insects), you can have females be ZW and males be ZZ (birds), you can have females be females because they developed in a warm environment and males be males because they developed in a cool environment (reptiles), you can have females be females because they lost a p***s sword fighting contest (some flatworms), you can have males be males because they were born female, but changed sexes because the only male in their group died (parrotfish and clownfish), you can have males look and act like females because they are trying to get close enough to actual females to mate with them (cuttlefish, bluegills, others), or you can be one of thousands of sexes (slime mold, some mushrooms.) Oh, did you mean humans? Oh ok then. You can be male because you were born female, but you have 5-alphareductase deficiency and so you grew a p***s at age 12. You can be female because you have an X and a Y chromosome but you are insensitive to androgens, and so you have a female body. You can be female because you have an X and a Y chromosome but your Y is missing the SRY gene, and so you have a female body. You can be male because you have two X chromosomes, but one of your X's HAS an SRY gene, and so you have a male body. You can be male because you have two X chromosomes- but also a Y. You can be female because you have only one X chromosome at all. And you can be male because you have two X chromosomes, but your heart and brain are male. And vice - effing - versa. Don't use science to justify your bigotry. The world is way too weird for that s**t."
