Tonight, the musical/carnival troupe plays their only show of the 2013 Mardi Gras season. The performance begins at 10 PM at D.B.A.
It’s really hard to describe the experience of seeing the New Orleans Bingo! Show. Here’s the way the band describes itself.
“The New Orleans Bingo! Show is a late night, early morning ride through Downtown New Orleans. It’s the soundscape created by the sirens, a calliope, a car alarm in a dark alley, the pulse of the nightclubs, a horse- drawn buggy, the church bells, the brass on the street, and a passing conversation.
A jagged series of vignettes and a songbook of love letters written while delivering food on a bicycle. A spinning wheel of possibilities entangling the audience in a game of chance. It’s a Musical Game ShowCabaret. It’s the desire to be someone else, with your name in lights.”
See you there!
