The Empire Strips Back: A Burlesque Parody - Chicago

AMAZING SHOW!! The dancers are all extremely talented! I'm not sure when the last time i laughed that hard was! The gentlemen who plays Eric Calrissian, Lando's Nephew was amazing! My Fiancé and I went as we are huge Star Wars fans and figured it was something very "Vegas" to do without it being tasteless. We absolutely loved it!

Absolutely go see this show!!! So much fun!!! Well done 👏 Gimme gimme more

The show was a lot of fun - for the most part. I'm not sure if it was my seat, but the lighting was terrible. I was not able to see all the cool dance moves being performed because the back lighting was too bright. At times it completely blinded me (the red was the worst). When the light wasn't blinding me, it was too bright to see properly. It seemed to me they needed two spotlights to accentuate the front of the performers. I am being critical because I want them to fix the lighting so the show does well. The bad lighting is going to upset many people who go to this show. I hope it was just opening night issue that will be resolved for the next show. On a bright note (pun intended), the choreography was amazing, the music was on point and the MC was fantastic. Overall a good show! (especially if you are blind)

Absolutely outstanding. Every single person on stage could have trained at Juilliard, they were all seriously professional and masters of their craft. The host was a comedian named Eric who had us dying. I highly recommend this show!

One of the best shows I’ve attended in a long time. Funny, creative, sexy, great music, awesome costumes, superb lighting and amazing cast! It’s worth every penny, long enough to make your jaw hurt from laughing, makes you want to dance and even if you are not a top Star Wars fan you will enjoy every minute of it! Don’t skip it, you won’t see Palpatine exposed like that anywhere else ever =]

Houston, this is SO MUCH FUN!!! If you like Star Wars even a little bit, you will love this! Buy the cheap seats, they're all good. The dancers are fabulous, costumes and props are amazing, host is hilarious, and you get to see Chewbacca's absolutely killer dance moves! The music is a great mix of genres, and it's a very relaxed environment. They have drinks and snacks, but pee before you get there bc the wait for the women's room will be awhile. Parking is easy, entrance is easy, no bag check, no photography allowed, no vaping. Some people wore themed shirts/shoes/outfits, etc. I went on a weeknight, so the crowd was a tad subdued, but I imagine the weekend shows are much rowdier. Don't let this event pass you by, all Star Wars fans need to see this!

I got targeted ads like crazy for this show. And boy did they target the right couple! I bought tickets for my husband and me to go see it on our first anniversary and the day finally arrived yesterday! It was a total hit, we absolutely loved it! The dancers are amazingly sexy and talented, and funny too. The costumes and lighting and sets were very well done. Sound was perfect, I appreciated that they didn't make it excessively loud. The MC, Charlie, really engaged the crowd in clever and entertaining ways. The venue was perfect and staff were attentive and focused, it was fully packed in there on a Tuesday! I would recommend any adult to see this show, Star Wars fan or not. It was so good! And one weird extra positive about the venue, Logan Square Auditorium. When using the restroom, before they were even out of toilet paper, a staff member came in to the ladies room to make sure we didn't need anything! Another woman and I both commented at how well stocked the bathroom was and that they had nicer toilet paper than we have at home! You just never see a venue actually check bathroom status before it's a problem and that impressed me!
