The Empire Strips Back brings sex appeal to Star Wars by combining a classy burlesque show with the iconic sci-fi characters we all know and love. The show has been getting rave reviews in cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, and it’s finally open at Sacramento’s Colonial Theatre (3522 Stockton Blvd) at last on May 8!
The Empire Strips Back was first performed in Sydney, Australia in 2011. It was an instant success, and has only grown in popularity as it’s toured across the world. The sets, costumes, and performers continue to get better every year, and this Sacramento run is sure to be one of its best.
At this sultry show, the stunning sets and costumes look like they were taken right out of an actual Star Wars movie. But even if you’re not a big fan of the films, this tantalizing night of burlesque still has something for you. Great music, silly skits, and masterful dancing will transport anyone in attendance to a galaxy far, far away.
Complete with aliens, lightsabers, and droids, the Empire Strips Back is one of the most unique shows you’ll ever see. Fans have enjoyed these impressive performances across the globe, with AisleSeatReivew describing the show as “The most fun you’ll have in a theater all summer long.” Ariana Bindman of SFGate raved that it was “One of the most memorable and impressive live performances [she’d] ever seen.”
