The Bartschland Follies, a weekly midnight residency is set to play at the McKittrick Hotel, home of Sleep No More, at the venue's jazz age-inspired speakeasy Manderley Bar. The show will take place on Fridays, March 16-April 13.

The Bartschland Follies is described as "an eclectic and eccentric cabaret extravaganza, where a night at the opera collides with a burlesque circus for a high fashion." Susanne Bartsch will host each show, which will feature a rotating roster of performances by nightlife fixtures including Joey Arias, Amanda Lepore, Shequida, Aquaria, Fou York, Dirty Martini, and more.

Bartsch's parties, which she's thrown for three decades are described as having "provided a venue for countless creative souls and 'creatures' to express themselves, come together and forget the hum-drum of the everyday. Since 1987, Susanne has become notorious for the beautiful, strange, and outlandishly dressed people who flock to her events."
