The Empire Strips Back: A Burlesque Parody was a show that brought electrifying dance numbers and a burlesque set in the Star Wars universe. Imagine watching sexy versions of Stormtroopers, C3PO, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and more as they dance to pop songs with high production values. We’re talking about a life-size Jabba the Hutt puppet inside his lair as his minions dance in the background. The Emperor even swung on a giant (not life-size) Death Star to Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball.” It was a spectacle to be seen with a lively crowd. The women were louder than the men in my experience with the show.
