The Donkey Show

A colleague showed me this picture of some posters that he saw in his Seoul neighborhood. Neither of us knew anything about a donkey show, so we did what any normal person would do - Googled it and checked it out on Wikipedia.

A donkey show is a form of live entertainment in which a person (usually a woman) performs sexual acts with a donkey.


The picture is pretty erotic - a beautiful, scantily clad women in front of a stage prop that looks like a woman's body part.

Although there are some pretty raunchy shows to be found in Seoul (so I've been told), this is a pretty conservative place. I just can't imagine that they would really be allowed to hold and advertise a real donkey show. At the very least, the SPCA would probably complain.

The poster says that The Donkey Show is a Broadway production, but Googling that didn't turn up anything. I did find that it was an off-Broadway show:

THE DONKEY SHOW - now in its 4th SMASH year - is a party, a show and a disco all wrapped up into one. It's the Off-Broadway Hit You Can Dance To...An Now Sing To! Decadence, disco and divas - behind the velvet ropes into a Studio 54 wonderland - THE DONKEY SHOW is NYC's # disco destination. Through all your favorite disco hits like CAR WASH, LAST DANCE and WE ARE FAMILY - the story of Shakespeare's MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM unfolds all around you at Club El Flamingo in NYC!
Here's your chance to sing along to all your favorite disco hits from THE DONKEY SHOW and create your own 70's party wherever you are. For tickets and more information about the show in NYC and other cities - check out www.thedonkeyshow.com

This seems more likely. I'm sure the William Shakespeare is turning over in his grave. I can just see them doing that disco great, The Car Wash, at The Rose. I may have to check it out just to see if it's on the up and up.
