Lord Franzannian's Royal Olympian Spectacular Vaudeville Show
Conducted with a traditional Vaudeville format - a series of unrelated acts following in rapid succession - the Lord Franzanian show is a huge local favorite. It gives performers of all types an oppurtunity to try out a new acts and new talents, and gives audience members an oppurtunity to enjoy live, sometimes experimental, and often extremely funny entertainment. Read about the history of BigShowCity and the origins of the vaudeville show here.
Everyone is welcome to participate. All types of stage acts are encouraged, from the traditional to the modern bizarre. Humorous and/or clever acts are a plus. Now is your chance to be a Vaudeville performer or just look like one!
