Dita von Teese is a near-legendary dancer, model, costume designer and actress who is credited with returning burlesque performance to popularity.

Indeed, she has frequently been referred to as the 'Queen of Burlesque' by the media - and her live performances simply have to be seen to be believed.

They are the very definition of decadence and extravagance - and those who are yet to see a show may wish to consider booking travel to New York in March.

This is because von Teese will performing in residence at the Gramercy Theatre from March 6th to 9th.

Entry prices start at $40 plus booking fees, with the very best views in the house available for the slightly higher price of $75.

Visitors to the city who are hoping to catch one of these shows may wish to consider booking rooms at the Millennium Broadway Hotel New York.

This is ideally situated a short, ten-minute drive or cab ride away from the venue.
