Brooklyn's exuberantly bawdy Company XIV, led by director-choreographer Austin McCormick, likes to add spice to familiar tales of sugar. In the past, the troupe has drawn on the stories of the Nutcracker, Cinderella, Snow White and Alice in Wonderland as inspirations for its over-the-top pageants, which combine baroque burlesque, classical dance, deluxe costumes, live singers and specialty circus acts. Its newest show, Petite Rouge, gives a decidedly adult spin to the adventures of Little Red Riding Hood in a night of dazzlement that is sure to inspire its share of wolf whistles. 

What goodies are in the basket this time around? You can get a taste of Little Rouge's treats in the photos below, which Company XIV has provided to Time Out as an exclusive first look. As you can see, the show promises to be everything a big bad wolf could want. Arrroooo!
