Denver Nightlife is Heating Up
Cora Vette is making a big name for herself in the Mile High
City! With her sexy curves, powerhouse vocals, and hilarious
personality, she is bringing her talents to many Gay bars around
Denver. Her naughty shows will keep you
entertained in the midst of the booming nightlife. Cora is
currently performing every Monday night at
X Bar for Musicalesque Mondays. She also
also has a new show, “Cora Vette’s Hot Rods,” at the
Compound. It will be a boylesque show.
Also, she performs at other local venues occasionally and
travels to perform in other cities like New Orleans.
 Where
are you from originally?
I am originally from Minneapolis, MN. But, I have been in Denver
on and off since high school.
How long have you been performing?
I think I did my first musical when I was three. I remember I
got really sick and had to lay on a cot backstage while my
understudy went on. I was devastated! I think that must be the
reason why (many years later) when I was playing Tanya in Mamma
Mia in Las Vegas, I never missed shows. My understudies hated
me!
What can someone expect from one of your shows?
Naughty bawdy good clean dirty fun - singing, dancing,
striptease, jokes and crazy costuming. I always aspire to give
the audience an escape from day to day stress. I want people to
be able go out, forget their troubles, be entertained and have a
great time.
What is currently your favorite song to perform?
I don't know. I have so many! I think it just depends on the
audience and the show. I love a big up-tempo show stopper like
"Lady Marmalade,” but I also love to bring the audience in with
a song like "White Christmas.” I love the hush that sometimes
falls over the crowd during a ballad. I know the audience is
with me at that exact moment in time. That is why I do theater.
Do you have any musical influences?
I am influenced by great crooners and great entertainers. Ella
Fitzgerald, Rosemary Clooney and Bette Midler to name just a
few. I love old music. The melodies are timeless and the singer
is the song. I think at heart I am an old soul. Oh! I also love
love love to find dirty old music. A few years ago I stumbled
into a bunch of naughty songs with titles like Hot Nuts, Press
my button ring my bell, If it don't fit don't force it, Sam, the
hot dog man, etc. and so on….Actually, those dirty old songs are
what brought me to burlesque. I couldn't believe they were
recorded in the 20s and 30s. I was instantly hooked.
What other hobbies do you have?
I love to sew. My mom taught me when I was in junior high and
when I turned 30, she gave me her old Pfaff sewing machine. I
make all my own costumes (mostly out of sparkle vinyl) and that
old sewing machine can sew through anything! Oh, and adding
rhinestones to everything, and making feather fans, and
pasties... I also collect vintage patterns and love sewing a new
dress from a 50s pattern. The styles are so classic and classy!
Favorite Drink: Red wine (sometimes out of
those tiny airplane bottles…with a straw - classy right?)
Celebrity Crush: Val Kilmer of the Real Genius
era...
One thing you can’t live without: Rhinestones.
It's a sickness.
