Written and directed by raconteur Tony Marsico, ‘Camp Burlesque’ is a contemporary homage to the classic burlesque films Marsico grew up watching in the backroom of his father’s pizza parlor. Conceived while on tour with Matthew Sweet, ‘Camp Burlesque’ successfully incorporates Marsico’s love of fantasy, roots oriented rock’n’roll, and the female form into a delightfully sinful low budget romp that titillates as much as it entertains.
Marsico has underscored his film with many of his famous friends and associates, some of whom number amongst the most popular artists in the world today, including The Cruzados w/Bob Dylan, Matthew Sweet, The Velvet Crush, Dave Alvin, John Doe, Peter Case, and many more!
