What people are saying!
Lola Van Ella - One of St. Louis' 25 most influential people places and ideas of 2008, Alive Magazine

 "If you are unfamiliar with the reigning queen of the St. Louis burlesque scene, miss Lola van Ella...you are truly missing out on one of the most entertaining evenings this city has to offer." Amy Burger, Playbackstl.com

"The scrumptious Lola...bursts with that friendly, confident, bravura sexiness that defines the truly spectacular ecdysiast." Steve Callahan, KDHX

"It has been some forty years since Vaudeville's naughty cousin [burlesque] slipped into obscurity.  Now an engaging young woman named Lola van Ella is bringing it back." John Auble, Fox 2 News

"Lola van Ella, the evening's cheeky mistress of ceremonies and the night's star won't be upstaged…showcasing her trademark 'derriere beyond compare'", Diane Tororian Keaggy, St. Louis Post Dispatch. 

"Lola van Ella…[has] been turning heads and dropping jaws for the last year with incredible independent and group performances" Amy Burger, Alive Magazine.

"The troupe is led by the vivacious and voluptuous Lola van Ella. She's a most personable, even captivating mistress of ceremonies. And she wields a very fine musical theatre voice. Her song, "Don't Tell Mamma", during her first number was a highlight of the evening. Later she amazed us all with some aerial work, entwining herself in and around two great lengths of fabric hanging from the ceiling." Steve Callahan, KDHX

"...I am amazed that such a big voice comes from such a little bit of lovely." Dustin Krueger, Hotspotvibe.com
