Estee Vanden Plotz

Estee Vanden Plotz, the delightfully eccentric diva fronting the Steampunk spectacular Clockwork Neon, is as famous for her soaring vocals as she is for her legendary ability to short-circuit stage equipment simply by glancing at it. Estee captivates audiences nightly, blending operatic notes with hilarious songs about rogue automatons, overly complicated corsets, and catastrophic dirigible dates gone wrong. Dressed extravagantly in gowns layered with more gears, cogs, and lights than practicality would advise, Estee insists that any wardrobe malfunctions are entirely deliberate and part of her genius “performance engineering.” Offstage, she is affectionately notorious among crew members for inventing contraptions that rarely function—but always explode spectacularly, usually accompanied by her cheerful assurance: “It’s supposed to do that!”
