Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
While I usually write about music for Under the Sun, I wouldn't be doing my part if I didn't mention Chippendales.The long-running male revue will return to the Celebrity Theatre Saturday, May 2 for some strip show fun. Chippendales (named the "Best Male Strip Show in Last Vegas" by the Las Vegas Review Journal) features 100% grade-A certified beefcake taking on the form of cowboys, doctors and policeman, then stripping down to their skivvies through various musical numbers.
And if you think the men put on a show, watch the women who are a lot rowdier than one would expect - I reviewed a Chippendales show (yes, reviewed) a few years back for the East Valley Tribune and believe me, these girls get crazy. So crazy I thought I might get trampled when one of the dancers made his way into our section.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the nearly nakedness begins at 9 p.m. Tickets are $20-$35 for the 18-and-older performance.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
