Chaotic fusion of circus acts, rock music, and burlesque performances at the Cherry Hellodies 666 event in Coney Island
The much-anticipated "Cherry Hellodies 666" show is set to return to Coney Island USA in Brooklyn on August 23rd, promising an immersive, thrilling evening experience for all attendees.
Hosted by Brooklyn musician and entertainer, Miss Cherry Delight, this unique event blends sideshow acts, live rock music, and burlesque performances into a one-of-a-kind spectacle. The show, described as an authentic, homegrown event, is deeply connected to the Coney Island community and helps support Coney Island USA, a venue facing threats from proposed development like a casino.
With tickets starting at $25 in advance and $30 at the door, the 18+ show offers a festive, edgy atmosphere that combines rock and burlesque genres, staged in the historic Coney Island USA venue known for its eclectic entertainment offerings.
This year's lineup includes a stellar cast of performers such as Tigger!, Pearls Daily, Mr. Gorgeous, Audrey Love, Queensiñerra, Alaska The Lostboy, Anna Monoxide, Faux Pas Le Fae, Aurora North, Obsidian Absurd (Miss Coney Island 2025), and Melinda "Melfire" Porto on backing vocals. Miss Cherry Delight herself will provide the live music for the performers.
The show, subtitled "The Feast Of The Beast!", will feature live music, aerial acts, acrobatics, boundary-pushing burlesque, comedy, and music. It will also pay tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne.
Attendees can participate in raffles to win high-value prizes, including a photo from the collection of the rock photographer Len De Lessio. The annual "Cherry Hellodies" show is a distinctive, underground-style variety show that celebrates local culture while supporting the venue's survival amidst redevelopment pressures.
Miss Cherry Delight stated that the show is a creation of their team, designed to keep the audience guessing and offer surprises throughout. She also expressed that she will always do the show in Coney Island due to the potential threat of a casino proposal.
For those interested in attending, tickets can be purchased on the Coney Island USA website (www.coneyisland.com/event/cherry-hellodies082325) or by visiting the venue at 1208 Surf Ave., Brooklyn. Delight expresses that attendees can expect an exciting, unique experience at the show.
