A show like none other has opened at Orlando’s Central Florida Fair Amphitheater. The Empire Strips Back combines incredible burlesque performances with the world of Star Wars, and it’s running for just two weeks! Tickets for this beloved show just went on sale, and you can get yours here before the show closes on April 6!
The Empire Strips Back originated in Sydney, Australia in 2011. Since then it has traveled across the globe and is just coming off a fantastic West Coast run. The spaced-out striptease has visited San Francisco and Los Angeles, consistently selling out shows along the way.
At every stop of its tour, The Empire Strips Back has been getting rave reviews. Broadway World praised the show for “Skillfully melding elements of traditional striptease with a knowledge and deep affection of the Star Wars franchise.”
Ariana Bindman of SFGate described the San Francisco show as “One of the most memorable and impressive live performances [she’d] ever seen.” Comedian Gabriel Iglesias even enjoyed himself at one of the LA performances!
The dancers are the stars of this production, but the wardrobe, sets, and props in The Empire Strips Back are also top-tier. Whether it’s Luke Skywalker’s speeder in a “sexy car wash,” Leia’s metal bikini, or Jabba the Hutt himself, everything onstage looks straight out of the latest Star Wars blockbuster.
The Empire Strips Back is currently playing for just two weeks at Central Florida Fair Amphitheater. After its recent success across the country, tickets to this Orlando run will sell at lightspeed. So get yours soon and prepare for a show with surprises you certainly won’t see coming!
