Replacing the Chippendales at the Rio is one of the cutest, quirky and entertaining parody shows Vegas has seen in a long time. Being a full two hours with a 15-minute break, the room was packed to the gills, not a seat to be found.
Featuring an all Star Wars cast with all the favorites, Princess Leah, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, R2-D2 among a whole supporting troupe; this intriguing burlesque show just opened last week. Also in London, this show has finally made it to Las Vegas.
