Get ready for a hilarious, sultry, and unforgettable experience with The Empire Strips Back: A Burlesque Parody. This international hit show has captivated audiences around the world with its unique and unauthorized interpretation of the beloved Star Wars franchise. And it’s now been extended in San Diego by popular demand, with the show now running until April 30 at the Alderaan Memorial Theatre, a new Pop-Up Venue at 1944 Commercial Street.
This burlesque parody takes you to a galaxy far, far away, where you’ll witness menacing and sexy dance routines, dangerous seduction, hilarious parody, and even the droids you’re looking for. Your favorite characters are scantily clad, seriously sultry, and live on stage. It’s a fun and rowdy experience for fans of the art form, as well as the classic film series.
The Empire Strips Back celebrates the resurgence of burlesque, with the show blurring the line between comedy and adult entertainment. With visually decadent and tonally unique acts, you’ll witness a captive Princess Leia gyrating in a bikini to Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer”, sexy stormtroopers stomping to the relentless “Seven Nation Army”, and resident space pimp R2D2 making it rain by ejecting wads of cash into the air.
This engagement of The Empire Strips Back is produced by Foster Entertainment and Neil Gooding Productions, presented with Fever, and was created by Russall S. Beattie. It’s a must-see for Star Wars fans and anyone that likes a bawdy good time.
Don’t miss your chance to witness one of the most memorable and impressive live performances you’ll ever see. Get your tickets now at theempirestripsback.com.
