Destinations: Chifferobe presents TROPICALE May 28th

Kristen Minsky, of the tap dancing darlings the Minsky Sisters,  is throwing a Retro Cuban party in Providence, RI called THE TROPICALE. The party is happening at the Cuban Revolution Restaurant & Bar. So let me get this straight. Authentic Cuban food. Kristen Minky debuting her "TropiGals" dance review. Mojitos. Daiquiris. And Cuba Libres. Si, por favor!!!

The Skinny from KM:

There is nothing like a mojito on a late spring eve or the sounds of a big band begging you to take a spin on the dance floor....

Harkening back to an era when the movie musical was at it's height, the romance and heat of a latin escape was all the rage, and a floor show and a few generous cocktails were all one needed for a fabulous night, THE TROPICALE is all of the above!... Won't you join us for this premier opportunity to celebrate American culture at it's finest?

THE BAND: The Superchief Trio
THE BURLESQUE: Greek Goddess PANDORA of New York
THE FLOOR SHOW: the debut of Kristen Minsky & The TropiGals!

NOT TO MENTION...a Photo Booth and accessories by Please & Thankyou
