Jacob's Pillow - Princess Lockerooo & The Fabulous Waack Dancers

The outdoor Henry J. Leir Stage hosts Princess Lockerooo & The Fabulous Waack Dancers for a special one-night-only performance on August 24. This performance includes a “Choose What You Pay” ticketing option, with a suggested ticket price of $25.

Audiences who have caught Princess Lockerooo performing at recent Jacob’s Pillow parties and events know one thing for sure: that she is “a whirling force with a singular focus: spreading the gospel of Waacking.” (The New York Times). A legend in the New York scene, Lockerooo and a group of remarkable dancers will take the Leir Stage with a performance called The Big Show, commissioned by Works & Process, which touches on jazz, disco, soul, R&B, pop music, and the blues, while pulling in theatrical choreography, elements of comedy and drag, and incredible costumes. This all-ages show explores the evolution and origin of waacking—a street dance style created in gay clubs of the ‘70s disco era—in utterly delightful ways.

The Big Show was commissioned by Works & Process and supported with LaunchPAD residencies at Bridge Street Theatre, The Pocantico Center, and Watermill Center.
