She’s a bright apparition, sometimes a Slovakian fairy and other times a passionate Parisian princess. In her alter ego she’s a fashion designer and stylist, and her superb period costumes are inspired by the Victorian era to the Cabaret and glamour of the Art Deco period and movie stars of the Thirties and Forties.
Nowadays she’s one of the new Burlesque scene. A leading character in many London clubs like the South Bank Centre, Bush Hall, Soho Revue Bar, Madame Jojo’s, Proud Gallery, Volute, she has now landed in Rome as a guest star of the Micca Club.
Let yourself get carried away in the private parlour of a Lady belonging to another century and she’ll send your temperature rising with stay-up stockings, a perfect string of pearls, killer lipstick and expensive perfumes that guarantee to take you to far off lands and your wildest and most hidden dreams.

An unconventional Dark Lady. Blanche Lenoir is tall and striking, charming and elegant but with a dark soul. Her favourite colour is black and her bearing is austere…at least until she starts playing with her prey, when she displays her craftiness and irony to the full. She was a Diva of the Forties, a crafty, artful Witch with her cauldron and magic wand and a shrewd, cunning and disrespectful Poker Player. Blanche Lenoir has long dark hair and a white ringlet, she’s heavily made up which makes her an aggressive but refined and classy dark lady. Don’t confuse here with a dark icon, but acclaim her as a noble diva of noir.

Blanche Lenoir’s shows:
The Nurse
The Diva
The Poker Player
The Witch
Adam's family (with live band)

Like a cherry, round, firm, smooth and bright, in the bloom of her sensuality and artfulness. Cherry Bloom is a real Fifties Pin-Up girl: shapely, full red lips dressed in little polka dot dresses. Spoilt and capricious, her heart shaped mouth always pouting and blowing kisses. The erotic dream of the famous illustrations of Gil Elvgren is revived in Cherry Bloom, in her retro movements, in her innocent but come-on looks, in her frivolousness. Like in the Wait, the Hitch-hiker, like a Widow who never loses heart, she is still an unruly and uninhibited seductress.

The Hitch-hiker

Fate hasn’t been kind to Lord Forte who lost everything because of his debauched lifestyle. Gambling and bad company left him on the rocks. Now he’s here with us not only as a simple stage assistant but also as a member of the company: sometimes the performers’ side kick, sometimes a pageboy.
He plays a different character in every show: from Jack the Ripper to Charlie Chaplin, from Alice’s Mad Hatter to the Lion Tamer in the Circus where he entertains the audience with his bizarre performances.
