Rhythm & Rhyme is Noveltease Theatre's cabaret series pairing burlesque, poetry, and live music. Each salon focuses on a different poetic movement or theme, with a rotating cast of burlesque performers, bands, and featured poets to bring salacious sonnets, ribald rhymes, and comely cantos to life in an atmosphere of frivolity and intellectual curiosity. 

Featuring: Ruby Mimosa, Sneaky Boo, Alexa Perplexa, Onyx Asili, Sailor St. Claire, Vanessa the Witch

Hosted by Miss Elaine Yes with music by Café Au Lait Olé.
