The Bearded Ladies put the "Anarchy" in Anachronism for their romp through French history.

In their Bastille Day Cabaret (working sub-title: History … Again!), the Bearded Ladies teamed up with Eastern State Penitentiary to bring you the whole of French history in a 100% accurate spectacle of song, dance, snack cakes, and beheadings.

A near-overwhelming afternoon of populist panache, this performance will put a song on your lips, bread in your hands, and a little revolutionary swagger in your step. For more information, visit the Eastern State Penitentiary website here.
