Welcome to Harlem in Havana reimagined, where forbidden glamour, beauty, and electrifying performance collide. Brown Skin Showgirls: A Harlem in Havana Tribute Show, part of Harlem in Havana NYC, is a high-glam love letter to Black and Latine artistry. This immersive burlesque spectacle resurrects Leon Claxton’s legendary midway show—a celebration of Black and Cuban performers who captivated North America from the carnival stage during the Jim Crow era. Journey through decades of rebellion and desire: the heat of 1940s Black burlesque; the Afro-Cuban rhythms of the 1950s; and the fearless drag and sultry movement of the 1960s. Every act drips with sensuality and modern edge. The night is headlined by Jessabelle Thunder, Miss Exotic World 2026, and hosted by J. The Artist, with a jaw-dropping cast. Dare to indulge?
