Coney Island USA is proud to present Becoming Bettie Page. Bettie’s ascent to icon began with a fateful meeting on the Coney Island boardwalk when off duty cop Jerry Tibbs spotted the beauty and ask to photograph her. His sharp eye suggest that the simple cut of bangs would set Bettie apart from the rest. Gosh, was he right! Set in the Bluebird Casino the 1950’s incarnation of Coney Island USA to the boogie woogie music of Champion Jack Dupree.
Burlesque starlet Seedy Edie stars as Bettie Page! The cast includes Tomike Ogugua (Power), John Crandell (Title IIV), Arron Lloyd (Blue Bloods) as Champion Jack Dupree and Nancy Reinstein as Coney Island legends Tirza and Mary Fish.
As seen in the Brooklyn Paper!
