About

Drawing inspiration from the strategic drama of chess, Simone Pin Productions presents a sexy, thought-provoking burlesque centering two opulent, opposed queens. Gaze upon the staggering beauty of rooks, knights, and two primal Queens facing off on the chessboard! Powerful female figures, love, and the battles experienced by women of color all take center stage in this stimulating burlesque.

The Queen’s Court features Adra Boo, Caela Bailey, TAQUEET$!, Elise, Shay Simone and Annya Pin, with choreography by Shay Simone that fuses burlesque and technical dance to scintillating effect.

VIP tickets for all shows include reserved seating in the first two rows of the theater, entry to experience a special cupcake and wine pairing before the show, a drink ticket, your choice of favorite cupcake from pairing experience, a signed poster, and a meet-and-greet with cast of Queens. Closing night tickets include access to the after-party at the Forum. We invite you to close out the show’s run with libations and a DJ set!

Adra Boo

Meet Adra Boo, one of the cast members of Queens and rook of the Queen’s Court. Seattle soul singer, teacher and actress, Adra Boo, walks through walls. While some in the age look to construct boxes for others, Boo flouts these efforts, working to inspire through interconnectivity, sacrifice and, of course, a touch of sweetness. Formerly known in the Emerald City as one half of the electric-funk duo, Fly Moon Royalty, which has shared stages with the likes of Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings and Macklemore, Boo also performs regularly as a solo artist or as a featured singer for musicians like Erik Blood, Vox Mod, Massy Ferguson, and the Grammy Award-winning composer and Seattle native, Andrew Joslyn. Currently, she is the newest member of Seattle’s new wave noir band, Hotels, which has been proving to give the band’s sound new energy, and in this new arrangement, not even the sky is the limit.

When not singing, however, Boo works in her community in multiple facets, including holding a board seat with the Pacific Northwest Grammy Chapter, and directing the Seattle Ladies Rock Camp, energizing womxn and gender non-binary individuals towards living their best lives, musically and beyond. Boo is also a regular emcee for summer music festivals, burlesque and cabaret, and a former festival correspondent for the award-winning alternative weekly, The Stranger.

A veteran performer on a myriad stages, Boo has been compared to timeless musicians like Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner, unafraid to ruffle feathers or rouse would-be audiences. And while all of these efforts cause her to stand out in the city, it’s her work as an artistic liaison that has made her a local legend.

Caela Bailey

The cast of Queens includes Caela Bailey as a rook of the Queen’s Court. Caela Bailey is a born and raised Seattle artist and entertainer. Last year she celebrated the release of her first album, “The Gospel of the Gutter Queen.” Caela grew up surrounded by street performers, circus legends, burlesque stars, and incredible musicians, traveling and performing around America & Europe. Caela is a full time performer, drawing her inspiration from modern cabaret, classic vaudeville, burlesque, old school Rock & Roll, and R&B, as well as today’s mainstream pop culture – one night you might catch her with a bad-ass live band and the next night in a small vaudeville club as a charismatic host and personality. Brimming with talent and emotional honesty, she keeps the audience firmly in the palm of her hand from the moment she walks on stage until she hits her last note or risqué joke. She has released three music videos, all worth watching to get a glimpse of what you are in for if you are lucky enough to see her live.

After moving to Seattle in 2012, Annya joined the Can Can Culinary Cabaret cast as part of the Heavenly Spies and performed in Zombie Cheerleaders, The Midnight Show, Kitty Kat Club and Diamonds.
