Keep Calm and Murray On: Burlesque, Bill Murray, and Paranormal Chaos at Beaumont Studios

🎬 Vancouver, get ready for a night like no other! 🎬

If you’ve been following my journey through this city’s dynamic cultural scene—from the glitz and glamour of cinema at VIFF 2024, the musical mastery of BACH, the rock classics in Arts Club’s Ring of Fire or the timeless appeal of Jersey Boys (which is now running until Oct 27th; having extended their run due to its incredible reception and popular demand!)

OH!

..and let’s not forget the sophisticated splendor of the Shakespearian theatrics of Bard on the Beach earlier this summer (they just announced their 2025 season for the summer!); you know that this city knows how to put on a show. Now, following the magic of Mushroom Wonderland, The Beaumont studio :

is raising the bar yet again with an unforgettable, genre-blurring experience!

🎭🍸

Running from October 17th to 31st

This show promises to combine burlesque, booze, paranormal chaos, and the unmistakable charm of Bill Murray into one hilariously absurd and immersive night. Think vaudevillian Ghostbusters, sass-filled burlesque, and spooky fun that will keep you laughing and cringing.

With a mix of burlesque, paranormal performances, this experience promises to come with multiple stages of live performances ranging from the sexy to the utterly silly. Imagine the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man crossing paths with WWF burlesque—yep, that’s happening.

With a cast of eccentric performers and characters like Miss Mae as Margot Tenenbaum and Ravenous Randy as Slimer, expect the unexpected at every turn 😉! Of course, no night would be complete without signature cocktails to complement the chaos.

The beauty of this experience lies in its unpredictability—one moment, you’ll be sipping a cocktail while witnessing WWF-style burlesque, and the next, you might find yourself lost in a surreal tribute to Murray’s quirky, supernatural roles. The show will take place across multiple stages, so there’s always something unexpected around the corner.

The Beaumont Studios 🎨🏛️

For those familiar with my previous adventures, you’ll know it’s an artistic haven that thrives on creativity and innovation. Nestled in the vibrant Mount Pleasant neighborhood, it’s known for its commitment to nurturing the local artistic community. It’s an ideal playground for immersive, offbeat experiences;

Narnia!

This multi-disciplinary space offers gallery exhibitions, studio spaces, event venues, and art residency programs. Since its inception, it has become a go-to spot for both emerging and established artists looking to push the boundaries of their craft.

Immersive Fall Theatre

Each fall, the hallways transform into an immersive playground, merging art, technology, and performance to deliver experiences unlike any other. Last year, they hosted The Shine, a dazzling, spine-tingling experience inspired by Stephen King’s The Shining.

With optical illusions, eerie soundscapes, mind-bending projection mapping, and haunted hallways, every inch of the studio was transformed. The experience wove together eerie performances, labyrinthine corridors, and even a haunted cocktail experience, offering attendees a thrilling adventure where actors stayed in character throughout the night, pulling everyone deeper into the narrative.

From Ghostbusters to Lost in Translation, bring your creative take on everyone’s favorite actor—whether it’s paintings, illustrations, textiles, sculptures, or even knitted creations. Your work could be featured in The Bill Murray Gallery during the 2-week immersive theatre production. Show off your work in 2D, 3D, 5D—whatever you think Bill would love most!

So, what are you waiting for?
