The Fly Honey Show — a combo of dance, burlesque and great party — declares a grand finale

The Fly Honey Show, a well-known Chicago arts variety show, hosts its last run this month at Thalia Hall, with a local focus. Across 15 seasons, the Fly Honeys built a following with a mix of burlesque, dance concert and party, along the way earning a reputation as hosting a joyful celebration of all bodies and identities. They’re staging a grand finale this month that pays homage to Chicago’s creative community with six unique performances on a custom stage at Thalia Hall. Along with 20 dancers and a nine-piece band, the show will feature special Chicago guests including Shawnee Dez, DJ CQQCHiFRUIT, Roy Kinsey, Chillona, Mariachi Sirenas, DJ Bonita Appleblunt and the Good Girls DJs. Director Erin Kilmurray stopped by to discuss the shows with Vocalo’s Nudia Hernandez. Dig deeper into the story at wbez.org/vocalo, and find performance details at theflyhoneyshow.com.
