Star Wars Parody with Burlesque Dancers? Yay for Pasties!
Particularly known for their Burlesque Parodies fulfilling our inner nerd’s greatest desires to see Indiana Jones or even Star Trek, the 80 seat venue on Milwaukee Avenue in Bucktown, is the quirky gem that is Gorilla Tango Theater. An eclectic presenter of live entertainment from dance and theater to storytellers and magicians during Brain Surgeon Theater, their Saturday family Matinee shows the production now bring us a new addition to the collection.
Following “The Empire Brings Sexy Back” and “A Nude Hope: A Star Wars Burlesque,” Ewoks, Jedi’s and Bobbies, Oh My! Not for the faint of heart (Though there is a bar for that, grab a drink or a 6-pack as soon as you purchase your ticket or check in!) but for nerd lovers everywhere! “Boobs of Endor: A return of the Jedi Burlesque” re-introduced us to the story we all love told through the eyes of the “true hero’s of the war”, the Ewoks! The conclusion of the saga, the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire. Tongue in cheek, with even tassels on some, the 60 minute show keeps you entertained throughout, with enough jokes to keep you laughing between the dancing and remembering all those thoughts you imagined come to life but with a dirty twist. Keep in mind, a little love is always appreciated, as they are showing you theirs, but keep your comments to yourself, otherwise you’ve turned it into an in your face performance. All the beloved Star Wars characters are featured: Chewie, Han, Luke, Darth Vader, Ewoks, an unlovable Boba Fett and for all those who wonder, yes, a Princess Leia.
It makes you want to watch the whole sequel again on Saturday night and see what else they do! Come in for one show or stay a few extra minutes for a drink and wait for the next one to begin.
All shows times for the month are posted (new plays opening soon! For the Diva in You and My Dinner with Music), classes (Science to Humanity: The Autopsy) and further Burlesque show times and descriptions are available on the calendar at gorillatango.com
