Well, I've seen the Painted Ladies a couple of times, and I find their sexual provocativeness just edgy enough to remind us that this is a dance show with some seriously talented dancers. The sexy factor is just a bonus. True, the breaks between acts were a pain, but I didn't find the acts repetitive at all, I thought they actually portrayed a distinct level of cleverness and social commentary (one act was a group of domesticated housewife types wrapping themselves in and out of saran wrap and zip-lock bags, fetishizing over disinfectant spray.) True, it is staying in that comfortable zone between legitimate dance and sex-object strut, but they do it with remarkable skill and playfulness. Have fun! hmm.
