Series synopsis[]
Overview and casting[]
Joseline's Cabaret: Miami chronicles the everyday life of Joseline Hernandez as she struggles to launch a cabaret show in Miami, Florida. The show is set in G5ive Miami, a strip club where Joseline worked a decade ago, and provides an inside look into the every day lives of strippers and sex workers, reminiscent of the 1998 film The Players Club.[21] The dancers featured in the cabaret appear as supporting cast members in confessional interview segments throughout the series. They include Daisy (Seanyce Bishop), Joseline's friend and self-professed "bottom bitch",[22] as well as dancers Ms. JaaDreams (Coriana Singleton), Lucky Hustla (Nieja Howell), Chazzity Leslie and Sapphire Eden (Tierra Williams). The show also features interludes with original music by Joseline and her fiancé Balistic Beats (Robin Ingouma), who is credited as the show's music producer.
Joseline's Cabaret: Atlanta is set in a mansion in Atlanta, Georgia, and chronicles Joseline's second attempt to launch a cabaret show. The show introduces a reality competition element, with ten girls living together in the mansion with Joseline and Balistic; the top four dancers are cast in the cabaret performance, with an overall winner given a cash prize of $10,000 and the opportunity to perform the cabaret in Vegas. Lucky and Sapphire return, along with eight new cast members who previously appeared in Joseline's Cabaret: Auditions. They include Blue Face Barbie (Lauren Woods) from Miami, Aqua (Kasie McCalvin) from Detroit, Lexi Blow from York, Pennsylvania, BossTec (Fonda Foster) from Atlanta, Big Lex (Alexius Ray) from South Carolina, Mz Natural (Ariel Robinson) from Gary, Indiana, Chanel Tso (Anaiah Wilson) from Houston and Yummie P (Alexandria Lynn) from Long Beach, California. Blue Face Barbie and Aqua quit the show early into the season, while Joseline rewards one of the girls with the title of a "cabaret captain", first Lucky, then Yummie, and finally Sapphire. Ultimately, Natural, Chanel, Lexi Blow and Lucky are chosen to perform with Joseline in the cabaret, with Chanel winning the $10,000 prize.
Joseline's Cabaret: Las Vegas is set in Las Vegas, Nevada with Chanel and Lexi Blow returning, alongside ten new cast members. They include Jordan Monroe (Jordan Lawrence) from New Jersey, ReRe (Rio Danielle O'Dell), Lollipop (Jeni Pollard) from Denver, Amber Ward from Chicago, Raven Diaz from Miami, BlckDiamond (Amanda) from Kissimmee, Florida, K. Kapri from Atlanta, Henny (Genesis) from New York City, Gaia Love from Tennessee and Ms. Wet Wet from the Bay Area.
