The Empire Strips Back: A Burlesque Parody - San Diego — Local services in San Diego

The show itself was amazing, hence the 2 stars. Beautiful costumes, beautiful dancers, fun choreography. My less than exceptional review has to do with the venue they selected for the April 28 show. It was an abandoned warehouse in Logan Heights kitty corner from a major homeless encampment. The Lyft driver actually asked us if this was the correct location before he dropped us off. As we walked toward the entrance the air reeked of excrement with pools of urine, vomit, and feces on the ground. Once seated, the seats were crammed in so tight there was no space to move and very little leg room. I wish I could say I was exaggerating but it’s true. Picture sardines. That was us. We were “asses to elbows” in there. I couldn’t believe we paid $69/person for this experience. I thought at that price the show would at least be in an actual theater-type space, not some dingy warehouse they jerry rigged into a theater with grade school-like assembly seats. Part of a great show is ambience, right? This show’s ambience was HORRIBLE. We paid to sit in Zone B, which you had to walk up 2-3, tall bleacher-style metal steps to get to with no hand railing. This didn’t seem safe or ADA compliant to me, especially given the sheer number of people there. While the show itself was unique I would never return to that space or location ever again. We opted to forgo souvenirs but we ended up getting the greatest souvenir of all - COVID. My hubby and I both caught COVID for the first time after this show. We’re sick as dogs and in Day 3 of quarantine as we speak. What a huge disappointment. Never again.

My family and I bought tickets as a surprise gift for my father. We went to the show on April 5th. When heading to the show, we followed the direction's on google maps. This took us to a completely different location than where our show was. After figuring out the mix up, we arrived to the actual location which looked like a theater setting from the outside. The drink selection was not great either. Beers were $14 and they didn't have many choices. When we got inside and were directed to our seats, we noticed how TIGHT the seating was! We were a party of 7 and were absolutely uncomfortable! All of the chairs were zip tied so we were not able to move the chairs. There was maybe 10-12 seats per row. We paid to be in section B, and it was still beyond uncomfortable! Then the view of the stage was awful, all of us were sitting just right to where it was really hard to see around peoples heads and onto the stage. Lastly, the show itself was very very boring! Overall, was extremely disappointed and we ended up leaving half way through the show, MAINLY because the seating was beyond uncomfortable and secondly, the show was boring. Super disappointed overall. When looking this up before getting the tickets, their website and Instagram looked completely different than what we all experienced. Maybe this was only this location, hopefully somewhere else its a better show, but this...

WOW! 21 year old dude, went with my friends, we freaking loved it. It was sexy and hilarious. Only down side is this isn't a full-on strip club, so there's no extreme stuff. But the vibe was great. The performers were gorgeous, I seriously actually fell in love with Princess Leia, and my friend really liked the shorter red-haired girl. I'm straight, but han Solo might have turned me HAHA. TOP tier comedy and great personalities. My female friend wanted to take a pic with han, but they don't do pics after, I get why, there are weirdos, but understandable still. I will seriously remember this for the rest of my life. It's worth every penny. The seats were sort of trash, probably just got a cheaper spot, so they pocket as much as possible. The more you pay, the better the seats. And honestly, with my military pay (not a lot if you don't know), it would have been worth it to pay the extra 20-30+ for tickets. The props were spot on, the scenes were great, lasted around 2 hours, but felt like it went by way to fast. Great,...
