The Schlapentickle family have been tossing their seed willy-nilly around the country for years, and this summer they decided to find out where it sprouted. Combining burlesque, vaudeville and sideshow into a good old-fashioned revue, this group of performers is traveling through 10 cities, reuniting in each with long-lost, equally bizarre family members and putting on shows so dysfunctional you may actually believe they're all related. The cast includes ragtime revivalist Sabrina Chap, grinder girl and performance artist Miss Pussykatt (pictured); deviant seductor Paco Fish; sideshow freak and wielder of sharp nails Mab, Just Mab; and minxy Scarlett Let-Her. For their stop in Philly, the troupe is joining up with hometown performer and Peek-A-Boo Revue assistant director Ginger Leigh. Though there's no telling what this group of sex cauldrons will do once they take the stage, expect the sexiness quotient to bubble over.
