New York City
The Nance
$20-$50
Direct from Broadway, The Nance recreates the naughty, raucous world of burlesque’s heyday and tells the backstage story of headliner Chauncey Miles, who plays “the nance”, a flamboyantly effeminate stock character – usually played by a straight man. At a time when it was easy to play gay and dangerous to be gay, Chauncey’s uproarious antics on the stage stand out in marked contrast to his offstage life
