One of our most popular posts of all time was about a nerd burlesque show, so it’s only natural for us to follow that up with a sequel.
For those of you living in Newtown, New South Wales – just outside Sydney, Australia – you may want to head out to The Vanguard. While the tickets for the current shows are already sold out, they’ll be repeating the “Star Wars Burlesque – The Empire Strips Back” show on the 9, 10 and 11 December.
The burlesque troupe is named Jaded Vanities, and will be appearing as sexy versions of Storm Troopers, Jedis, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, C3P0 and Tusken Raiders. Here’s how they describe the show:
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. It is a period of civil war. The empire has grown powerful and crushed the spirits of the people.
In a last ditch effort the rebels and Jedi are using their sensual powers in the long forgotten arts of burlesque to infiltrate the empire’s base in Newtown, known to the locals as The Vanguard.
We ask for your help in restoring freedom to the galaxy …
As always, there’s a video advertisement to promote the show. Enjoy!
