Wolford Dancer

Dancer at the Wolford.


Biography

S4E4 - Midge continues to wage an uphill battle trying to improve the working conditions at the Wolford. She stands and watches as today's dancers (Gilded Age, Lana LaRue, Philomena, Sugar, Tilly, Bunny, Bubbles, Can Can Mademoiselle, Gloria, Mitzi, Cotton Ball and Sapphira), garbed in gnatty costumes with missing components, lethargically go through the motions of the finale. At the end of the act, the curtain fails to descend.

S4E4 - At the Wolford, Midge finally starts to make some headway. When Boise barges into the dressing room and tells Mitzi to move her ass, Midge firmly tells him to speak to the dancers with more respect, and to always knock at the door before entering. Gloria, Mitzi, Bunny, Philomena, Bubbles, Can Can Mademoiselle, Sapphira, Sugar, Gilded Age and Lana LaRue all look on, surprised and impressed. Later, she goes on stage, and does a set about the secret lives of stay-at-home wives which lands well. The dancers (Philomena, Sapphira, Cotton Ball, Gilded Age, Can-Can Mademoiselle, Mitzi, Gloria, Sugar) watch from the wings, enthralled, as do the wait staff on the theatre floor. Boise notices this, and angrily tells them to get back to work.

S4E4 - At the Wolford, things are finally going well. The dancers for the night (Can Can Mademoiselle, Sapphira, Bunny, Sugar, Philomena, Ringmaster, Mitzi, Lana LaRue, Gilded Age, Cotton Ball, Annie Oakley) perform the finale, and it is noticeably more energetic and polished than before. Their costumes are now pristine and illustrious, presumably thanks to some help from Zelda. At the end of the act, the curtain descends, the band stops, Midge's spotlight comes on, her mic works, and she is able to deliver her closing remarks cleanly. As she leaves the stage, Midge exclaims that they finally got it perfect… only to fall into the orchestra pit, breaking her arm. The dancers react with mild interest and concern, but nobody else appears to care.

S4E7 - Midge brings Imogene to the Wolford and introduces her to the strippers. The dancer is in the background, garbed in her Can Can Mademoiselle guise.

S4E8 - At the Wolford, an ensemble of dancers performs a series of simultaneous vignettes about domesticity in a dollhouse-style set, choreographed to the song “Femininity.” In the top right corner, a rich woman (the dancer who formerly played Can Can Mademoiselle) is pampered by her French maid. Shortly after the performance, the Wolford is raided by the police. The dancer is in the dressing room when it begins, and she flees right as Midge enters.

S5E1 - At the Wolford, Susie tries to convince Gordon Ford to hire Midge as the dancers (one of them in the Can Can Mademoiselle costume) perform the finale of the show.
