Last weekend I was lucky enough to catch one of the last performances of Club IMAGE’s ‘Monsters Tea Party.’
The show had a storyline, complete with dialogue, about various monsters arriving at a tea party.
The costumes were amazing, as were the particle effects.
I should have written down the names of the characters – my memory isn’t what it used to be. š
First to arrive at the party was a fiery fairy.
(I think her name was Electra, but I’m not sure.)
After the cute (but teeny bit scary) pixie arrives, there’s another knock on the door.
The werewolf arrives.
Again, the costumes were spectacular.
As they arrive, the monsters are shown into the library to await the arrival of the rest of the guests.
Suddenly, it seems to grow darker.
Who is arriving now?
Nyx, the mistress of night.
Played, of course, by Diawa Bellic.
I loved the particle effects in this number.
After Diawa’s stellar performance, Misse took the stage.
I am always in awe of Misse’s performances, and this one was no different.
The visual artistry of her routines (and those of other IMAGE dancers) is simply amazing.
The spots of red against the black, the moving pieces of the set – superb.
Several other monsters arrive, and we discover the hostess has forgotten to order tea for the tea party.
Not to fear – the last guest arrives with tea to save the day!
The show ended with a group number.
The pictures don’t do the performance justice.
They are no longer performing this particular show, but they put on shows every Sunday.
Set your alarm to get up early on Sunday and check out their expert use of visual effects.
