The Baton

Chicago's best cabaret drag revue is all about "the illusion." This Las Vegas-style revue has been around for over 30 years. A cover charge and two-drink minimum allow you to bask in the glory of some of the most amazing female impersonators you're likely to encounter anywhere. The clientele ranges from professionals to bridal parties. Mimi Marks, internationally recognized one-half Marilyn Monroe, one-half Brigitte Bardot, calls this place home. The music is lively, featuring pop to R&B, and audience participation is mandatory. Neglecting to tip the performers is considered in very bad taste.
