The 10th Annual Hawaii Burlesque Festival & Revue: Run the Jewels

The Hawaii Burlesque Festival celebrates 10 extraordinary years of the best of burlesque in Hawaii! Join the glamorous fun with two renditions of Run the Jewels at the Doris Duke Theatre October 11 and 12. 
 
Step into a world of glitz, glamor and intrigue as this captivating burlesque show transports you inside a jewel heist where seduction and deception intertwine. Featuring an all-star cast of Hawai‘i burlesque performers, Run the Jewels features breathtaking burlesque, delightful drag, hilarious hijinks and tantalizing mystery.

Our favorite emcees, the dynamic duo of Hunter Down and Tita Titsling are joined this year by the stunning songstress Candi Shell!
