The Story Behind the Stage

The AllWays has been a Marigny institution for nearly 18 years — and the story of how it came to be is as New Orleans as it gets.

The founder was a dancer and theater performer whose path changed after a brain injury left her with partial paralysis. Rather than walk away from the art form she loved, she moved from the stage to behind the light and soundboard, eventually taking over the space entirely to build something bigger than any single performance: a community-driven, boundary-pushing cabaret theater that feeds the souls of performers and audience members alike.

That spirit — resilient, creative, deeply human — lives in every show.

What Makes AllWays Like Nowhere Else

🎪 Drag & Burlesque That Actually Push Boundaries

AllWays isn't putting on cookie-cutter shows. The drag and burlesque performances here redefine what those words mean — more theatrical, more interactive, more New Orleans than anything else you'll find. Past guests have raved about the insanely gorgeous costumes, the live music, the comedy, and the sheer artistry behind it all.

🌆 The Marigny Magic

Tucked just outside the French Quarter in the historic Marigny neighborhood, AllWays has a vibe you can't manufacture: part Parisian cabaret, part New Orleans underground, entirely its own thing. It's where the locals actually go. And yes — there's plenty of parking.

🥂 VIP Seating for Your Group

Celebrating something special? AllWays has VIP seating options and will go the extra mile for groups. Email ahead, get connected with the producer, and depending on the show format, your crew can get a shout-out or a little extra attention from the stage. It's that kind of place.

🎟️ 4–5 Shows Every Weekend Night

From a happy hour show all the way through to midnight, there are multiple performances to choose from on weekend nights — so whether your group wants to kick the evening off early or make it a late-night adventure, there's a show timed for you.

🏠 Two Incredible Spaces

The main cabaret lounge delivers an intimate, up-close experience where the audience is part of the show. The Twilight Room in the back opens up for larger and late-night productions. Both feel completely AllWays.



Why It's Perfect for a Bachelorette Party, Birthday, or Group Trip

AllWays draws groups every single week for a reason: it delivers the kind of spontaneous, joyful, only-in-New-Orleans experience that no amount of planning can fully replicate. The shows are interactive and playful, the drinks are strong, and the energy in that room is unlike anything else in the city.

Guests consistently call it the highlight of their entire New Orleans trip — not just the night, the whole trip. One visitor celebrating a 40th birthday said they'd "AllWays" remember it (yes, the pun is unavoidable, and yes, it's earned).

This is the night your group will talk about at every reunion for the next decade.

Final Take: New Orleans Doesn't Get More Real Than This 🎶
