Vancouver based production company I AM MANDRAKE debuts their first Electro-Vaudville show entitled “Runway Jubilee” at Celebrities Night Club on Thursday, July 24th from 8-10:30pm. The show is performed to an original soundtrack, also to be released this summer, which showcases the best of I AM MANDRAKE’s musical work since 2010 - including Virgin Radio's 'best of BC winner' “Miss You, Miss You” and new songs such as the title track “Runway Jubilee”.
As a production team, I AM MANDRAKE works to revive vaudeville through innovative performance and cutting-edge electronic music. By pairing extreme circus, drag, and dance with original music that has already found success through commercial radio, I AM MANDRAKE creates a new form of independent pop act and challenges these established genres.
I AM MANDRAKE is proud to announce its partnership with Inner Ring Circus, a professional entertainment company which specializes in the production of innovative circus arts. “Runway Jubilee” also features some of the city's leading drag talent by way of exclusive “burlesque drag” performances - wherein performers remove their drag personas live on stage.
