1929, New Orleans. Night descends on the Burlesque Show club, its sign cutting through the darkness. Inside, burgundy velvet and warm lamplight define a space of quiet luxury. Round tables and side sofas frame the grand staircase, where 'BURLESQUE' glows above. Waiters weave through the crowd of the rich and famous. Behind the gold-molded bar, Alastor, the charismatic radio host, sips whiskey, his dark secrets hidden behind a smile. The show begins. Lights flare on the stage as feathered dancers move to sonorous jazz. Then, the spotlight climbs. You descend, hips swinging, your velvety voice filling the room. All eyes turn to you, the beloved jazz icon, as the melody softens.
