From the production company that brought you Wizard of OZ Aerial Arts and Burlesque
comes a new production: Valloween. Valloween combines Halloween tricks and treats with Valentine's Day fancy. Join us as our protagonists Danny and Meredith journey through a magical land of graveyard monsters and mystical creatures.
Our live band consists of Jason Reichert on guitar, Anthony Bittner on piano, Darren Moore on bass, Kirch Hertel on drums, and Carmen Everingham on cello will be accompanied by vocalists Verso Vice and Mandy Stockholm. The live band will interpret old time favorites from Fred Astaire's ¬ËœPutting on the Ritz' to The Sweet's ¬ËœBallroom Blitz' along with original music.
Watch in awe as Russell Bruner and Sugar Kane dazzle you with sweet romance as corpse bride and groom. Sarah Iverson as a glow-in-the-dark hula hooping mummy will perform an act you will never forget. Never make a woman angry is a lesson learned from Lark's fiery Frankenstein's Bride. Heart retching performance by Amanda Bazille on straps as an abandoned paper doll will tug on your heart strings. Enjoy the playfulness of Jolene Dickerson and Petra Delarocha as Moon and Stars on the static trapeze.
Talia Risa contortionist extraordinaire will enthrall you with strength and grace. Harper Chang and Sara T. Hill as sirens of the sea will captivate you on a unique silk and lyra combination. Enchanting nymph Emilie Arbaugh will cast a spell over you from death defying heights on a single rope. Strong man Jon Dutch as Hercules and lovely assistants will demonstrate the most impossible acrobatic moves.
VIP Lounge also available with premium balcony seating and private bar. A table includes desserts and a bottle of wine, each table seats up to five people.





















This would be an awesome way to spend Vday! My mom passed away on Valentine’s Day 5 years, ago, so I’m trying to associate the day with happy!
sounds awesome !! would love to take my girlfriend on Saturday the 11th !!
Valloween…where wicked romance meets Halloween…would love to dress up like a million dollars and revele in the ballroom blitz at the Bossanova on Saturday, the 11th….Thank you for this opportunity!!
Valloween is the perfect answer to my anti-valentine’s day hoopla attitude!! I want to goooooooo!!!!!!!
Definitely want to see this–a very Portland-y event! Sunday the 12th!
Sounds like so much fun – would love to go!!
Love the mixed theme since valentines can be a snoozefest. Either night would be fun to go but if I had to pick I’d say Sunday.
sounds like so much fun! I love how acrobatic arts are finding their way into the club scene! Plus, winning tix would be a great cheap way to celebrate! I’m one Po Mo Fo!
Id love to go on Saturday the 11th!
Crossing my fingers!
if anything, this will be yet one more nite that i post about on fb, only to hear about how weird portland is from my texas friends.
Valloween…ha ha that is cute. thank you portland for having cool stuff to do. And thank you pipeline. gave my friend a trapeze class for her birthday – so this is kind up our alley.
Finally a good reason to acknoledge the 14th. I would like to go on Sunday the 12th.
Sounds like a fun and inventive way to celebrate VDday ;)
Sunday would be lovely!!! And I love dangling and flying through the air, watching it is mesmerizing, contortionist are most impressive, and above all my husband and I rarely get to go out so our love bank is in desperate need of a deposit!! Xoxo
Hello,
I believe my girlfriend and I are deserving of a pair of tickets for either night. We’ve been together over 4 1/2 years and are huuuuuuuuuuge horror freaks! This sounds like an awesome event and love the Bossanova Ballroom! Hopefully we can win something for once :) thank you
This is the most unique and neatest sounding event EVER! We would love to go on either (or both!) days. Pick us! Pick us!
Awesome experience I bet, let me be a part of it. Hit me up with some tickets…
Sexy hot! And I’ll dress up frilly if you pick me. ;-)
I would like to see this on Saturday because my sweet son will be with his father and I am dating a new fun romantic awesome guy who would enjoy the show as much as I will.
Please pick me so I can take my girl to something cool.
I want to see what the child of Halloween and Wizard of Oz look like.

I’d love to go Saturday, it sounds really interesting!!!
A good friend of mine is hula hooping in this and she has no comps to give, and I can’t really afford it right now. ohhhhhhhhhh it would be just fuckin swell if I could go. Also I consider myself rather a connoisseur of monster porn of most all varieties… something with a little less sex but also a little less computer sounds extremely titillating. This also would be a good dipping a toe in the water experience for my boyfriend.
Would love to surprise my hubby with this. Our 5 year wedding anniversay is Feb 14, 2012. He saw this and was very intrested in this. His favorite movie is the Rocky Horror Picture show and his favorite holiday is Halloween. What a treat it would be to take him. As for the day, Either day would be great. He gets of work at 7pm both nights. Thank you PDX for this chance to surprise my wonderful Hubby!
I can admit it I have forgotten to by things till the last minute on V-day for the last two years so this year I’m trying to make up for it. I’ve got the gift; I’ve got the flowers now I just need something to do. That’s why I think this show would be a hoot to go out and see on Saturday the 6th. It’s right up our ally as we are not the most conventional people celebrating Halloween twice a year already; now let’s add a hint of a third.
That should have said Saturday the 12th not the 6th… Weird.
Bossanova always has the best burlesque around! We want to go again!!! Thanks!!!
I have never celebrated Valentines Day and my boyfriend thinks it’s too commercial. So, if I had tickets we’d both win
I would love such a romantic adventure.
My girlfriend would love such a romantic adventure.
Got a babysitter for Saturday night!!! Would love to celebrate this holiday in a horrific way!! :)
I have a friend visiting from wisconsin on saturday….this seems to be a truly fantastic portland-esque experience! She loves halloween and airial performances and needs more reasons to move to portland!
I’ve always thought Valentine’s Day was the scariest holiday of the year, so this makes perfect sense. I’d love to go on Sunday…because of God.
My husbands birthday is the 11th and it would be great to get him out for some fun.
My girlfriend of 5 years (and hopefully the rest of my life) works on the 14th, so I’d love to treat her to some Bossanova style and burlesque horror. Sunday the 12th, if you please…
my boyfriend would LOVE this, it would be an awesome surprise! Sunday the 12th would be best
Would love to go (Feb 12) because despite both our anti-cheesy-romance attitudes, my boyfriend and I got together on Valentine’s Day two years ago…. so what better way to counter that chessy-ness than with graveyard monsters and mystical creatures?!?!
Seriously, I hate Valentine’s Day, but need to celebrate our anniversary. Help a sista out.
I’ve always had this Valentines/Frankenstein fantasy-thing. It’s hard to explain, but my girlfriend said she’d go through with it if we get tickets for Sunday night.
This would be the prefect way to celebrate Valentines Day, because both my boyfriend and I work on the actual day. This show looks amazing, and I love Bossanova Ballroom. Please let me win these tickets! Either day works for me.
Roses are red, violets are blue, send me to valloween, and she’ll come too.
This sounds great. What better way to show my special someone I care about them than with a freak nasty valentines day spectacular. I will go either day if ye pick me
we love halloween all year round!
We’ve both had so much homework over the past weeks that we speak to one another in quadratic functions instead of sweet nothin’s- we deserve a date night! Saturday would be fresh.
I am obsessed with Halloween and hate how cheesy Valentine’s Day is. What a perfect way to combine the two! Love rocks when its w/the undead!
Saturday night out w/my man and some pre-Halloween fun. Please oh please oh please?!?
Never got to go out on vakentines day ….does this prize include a date?
I just moved to portland and my boyfriend is coming to visit saturday, this would be an amazing intro to the city and a great way to spend valentine’s day weekend since we can’t spend valentine’s day together
This looks like sooooooo much fun!! I would love tickets if possible, I just started seeing this amazing girl and would love to surprise her with tickets to this!! Thanks Portland!
i would like to attend because that day is my thirtieth birthday. i have no idea what to do that day or where to go, and my boyfriend and i are broke. winning tickets would be awesome
I would love to go on Saturday the 11th to see my dear old friend the glow-in-the-dark hula-hooping mummy!
My best friend and I are both single women an need to get out and celebrate the nonValentine!! Maybe there will be some interesting other singles there!!! Saturday night would be the best for us to dress up and enjoy!!
Halloween is her favorite!!! Pick us!!! Please!! Broke single ladies need help to get in the Valentine spirit!! Maybe we will meet our someones???
Pick me so I can tell all those valentine-loving shmucks that EVERY kiss DOESN’T begin with Kay/crap!
St. Valentine and Frankenstein’s bride -
an interesting mix;
Throw in some acrobats and those
who do tricks.
Both a sexy and fun way to
get your kicks;
Can’t wait to get my hands on
some of these tix!!
Either day. Sounds like a blast!
Great idea! Pick me!
how FUN!!
I’d love to go. Thanks!
1.I would get celebrate Valentine’s day the Portland way 2. I would get to find a date 3. So, I don’t have to experience another mopey Vday. (Either night) Hope I win! Looks like so much fun!!
I want to go 2/11.
I live right down the street! What a perfect way to spend the holiday :)
Whoa I’d love to go on Sunday feburary 12th! My girl would be so impressed if I took her to a spectacular show rather then the same old lame bar. Maybe we can even learn some tricks to practice on our own.. Spice of life!!
Does anyone ever win these things?
oops, I thought this was the ‘>allow een!’ contest. sorry to have troubled you.
Wow what a show. Just once in 17 years it might be nice to go out on V day with my husband
It would be a real special date to win tickets. It’s been a while and we deserve it.
It would be a real special date to win tickets for saturday. It’s been a while and we deserve it. Thanks Pdx
I would love to go to this, halloween anything is great
My woman loves this kind of crap. I don’t. For the love of god ignore this comment.
Because I love monsters and burlesque. Saturday, please! Or Sunday. It’s all good. :-)
I know lots of these performers and am an amateur circus person myself but somehow I’ve never seen one of their shows! I would love to win!
Horror and heart beak will make my legs wiggle,
send me in my dancin’ shoes.
(can attend any day.)
Would love to make this show with my GF! We are both love new experiences that stray from the norm.
I could use a W
