“In a world where "bad girl" has become a marketing ploy applied to the likes of Britney Spears, New York performance artist and social satirist Penny Arcade is the real thing.” – The Sydney Morning Herald

“The show is everything you ever wanted to know about censorship, feminism, counterculture and joy – without speaking about any of those things.” – Rolling Stone Magazine

This groundbreaking work established erotic dance as a feminist art form and the comedic cultural criticism broke down the separation and isolation between people of diverse racial, ethnic, sexual and economic groups and left an international Neo Burlesque Movement in its wake.
