In a world with countless “Star Wars” spin-offs, our favorite has to be The Empire Strips Back.
Sadly, all good things come to an end.
The beloved burlesque show, currently running at New York City’s Orpheum Theatre, officially closes on Sunday, July 23.
That means there are just seven more opportunities to see the 90-minute show featuring scantily-clad, gyrating stormtroopers, Princess Leia, C-3PO, Darth Vader, Boba Fett and many more popular characters reimagined from the popular sci-fi series for a late-night crowd.
Thankfully, last-minute ticket prices don’t belong in a galaxy far, far away.
At the time of publication, we found some tickets going for as low as $68 before fees on Vivid Seats.
All other shows start in the $73 to $82 range.
