The Empire Strips Back is a cabaret-style show with comedy, skits, and the sexiest dancing in the galaxy. But what really sets this world-renowned production apart is that it’s straight out of the Star Wars universe. The parody show is playing at the Orpheum Theatre (126 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10003) until July 23, when it will sadly end its NYC run. Don’t miss out and get your tickets today!
Whether you’re a Star Wars fan or have never seen one second of the sci-fi films, this show has something for everybody. The production does an excellent job of balancing easter eggs and references with pop music and skits that all will love. If you enjoy a steamy dance number and over an hour and a half of silly fun, The Empire Strips Back is for you!
The music of The Empire Strips Back covers just about every genre you can think of. One moment, there’s a smooth and soft number as two aliens dance sensually with each other across the stage. The next, heavy metal from System of a Down kicks on as Tusken Raiders start head banging!
The performers are certainly the stars of the show, but you’ll also be stunned by the amount of care that went into all the sets, costumes, and props. The parody production was clearly crafted with a lot of love.
The Empire Strips Back is now playing at The Orpheum Theatre (126 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10003), with its last New York performance on July 23. The show has consistently been selling out and is likely to run out of tickets soon, so be sure to get yours before they’re gone!
