Burlesque small-town girl with a big voice. American burlesque shows were originally an offshoot of Victorian burlesque. The English genre had been successfully staged in New York from the 1840s, and it was popularised by a visiting British burlesque troupe, Lydia Thompson and the "British Blondes", beginning in 1868.[31] New York burlesque shows soon incorporated elements and the structure of the popular minstrel shows.
