Hi, beautiful. Here’s your week — forward it to someone who’d follow a skeleton king anywhere.
✦ The Feature ✦
NIGHTMARE — The Clocktower Cabaret · Fri, Oct 16 – Sun, Oct 18
Selena Bone’Em Harder turns The Nightmare Before Christmas into a burlesque and aerial remix. Jack, Sally, Oogie and Zero (plus a few surprise Halloweentown cameos) peel it all back while you sip, right under the clock tower.
Two shows a night: Friday and Saturday at 7:00 and 9:30 PM, Sunday at 6:00 and 8:30 PM, with doors 30 minutes before. 18+. Seats go in order of purchase, so groups and bachelorettes should book early.
It runs just this one weekend before it goes dark until December. Wear your pinstripes.

Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun — Lot 46 Music Bar, Edgewater · Sun, Oct 18, 11 AM
Leg Lamp Cabaret’s boozy burlesque brunch: doors at 11, show from noon to 2. $35 gets you a personal brunch pizza and a reserved seat, and $55 adds bottomless mimosas. Only 63 seats, 21+. Stick around for Mwah & Friends’ free DJ set at 3.
Cabaret Casanova — The Savoy, Five Points · Mon, Oct 12, 7 PM
Tonight. Morningstar Darkling hosts the most glamorous drag kings in town: Indie Inherpants, Bobbi Pin, Tex NoLogic, Thee Fiasco, King Vaughnz, Jacques Strapp and TOKYN 666, upstairs at the historic Savoy. Fully accessible, every ticket comes with a seat, and plan on street parking.

✦ Soft & Sensual
A Lesbian Teaches You How to Flirt — Sexploratorium · Fri, Oct 16, 6–7:30 PM
A college professor who studies human connection teaches the art of the flirt: the theory first, then moves you can try that same night. Open to every orientation and gender. $40, or $50 with a drink. The couples’ package is $120.
Glow at the Gardens — Denver Botanic Gardens · Thu–Sun, Oct 15–18, 5:30–9 PM
