The Empire Strips Back

The Empire Strips Back brings a unique burlesque parody to the stage, reimagining the Star Wars universe with classic striptease and vaudeville. Expect elaborate costumes, familiar characters in unexpected situations, and a blend of humor and spectacle that pays homage to the original films while adding a playful, adult twist. It's a creative, theatrical take on a beloved franchise. This performance takes place on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at the Rio Showroom at Rio Las Vegas. The showroom setting typically offers a comfortable, intimate atmosphere for a theatrical production of this style, making it a good fit for fans of burlesque, pop culture parodies, or anyone looking for an entertaining evening with a creative, comedic edge in Las Vegas.
