The Empire Strips Back - A Burlesque Parody

The Empire Strips Back is a burlesque parody show, taking familiar characters and themes from the Star Wars universe and reinterpreting them through a cabaret lens. Expect a mix of humor, dance, and creative costuming that playfully subverts the original material. This performance offers a different take on the franchise, focusing on spectacle and satire. This show takes place on Thursday, October 1, 2026, at the Ricardo Montalban Theatre in Los Angeles. The venue is a classic theater space, providing an intimate setting for this type of performance. It's a good fit for those who appreciate burlesque, parody, or a unique theatrical experience that doesn't take itself too seriously.
