Chanteuse: Love Songs, Torch Songs & Everything In Between
Friday, February 14
Valentine’s Day can be complicated. So we made a show for all of it.
Whether you’re celebrating love, dodging it, reclaiming it, or simply enjoying a fabulous night out, Chanteuse returns with an evening of all live-vocal drag, delivering songs that span romance, heartbreak, longing, humor, and unapologetic self-love. No lip-syncs. No shortcuts. Just powerhouse vocals in an intimate, candlelit speakeasy.
Hosted by Indy’s own Lola Palooza, this special Valentine’s edition welcomes two long-awaited guest artists—originally scheduled for our snowed-out holiday show and finally making their Chanteuse debut:
✨ Tilda Whirl – Fort Wayne’s queen of theater, serving drama, storytelling, and stunning live vocals
✨ Ilana a la Mode – Indy’s ingenue, bringing heart, charm, and effortless musicality
From sweeping ballads to biting wit, the night’s playlist is designed to meet you exactly where you are—date night, girls’ night, solo night, or “I survived February” night.
