The Rose Room Brings Debauchery To Times Square

Last night I got a taste of The Rose Room and their new show Autumn Equinox: Season of Seduction. Billed as “a scintillating underground experience where queers and bohemians gather at the intersection of theater and nightlife and dance party filled with feats of danger and debauchery.”

All I can say is, expect crass and vulgar, in other words, not my cup of tea, but they are not gearing this show to me, but the underground queer scene.

Mr. Dusty Rose

The impresario of the Rose Room is Mister Dusty Rose, a renowned New York based mind reader and mystery entertainer. He is best known for his unique blend of mentalism and storytelling. If that is in the show I was not shown that. What I got was comedian/ singer Najee Gabay Knight performing “Greatest Show” with Natalie Michaels and Glori Fillipone. That performance was impressive for Cabaret. Then Mr. Knight talked.

You can see the video here.

Glori Fillipone, Natalie Michaels

Ms. Fillipone, performed the aerial number “Personal Jesus” pouring wax all over herself, taking off her top, along with rubbing the wax seductively and graphically. Her moves were athletic and  gymnastically inclined.

Last up was magic by Lee Alan Barrett, self described as a person with a desperate need for attention. He was reminiscent of Speakeasy Magick at the McKittrick Hotel.
