Due to overwhelming demand, new early evening Sunday performances have just been added to the Melbourne season of EMPIRE, now playing in the beautiful spiegeltent on The Rooftop at Crown Melbourne.
Sunday 5pm shows will commence on April 7 and run for the remainder of the Melbourne season through until May 5, 2013.
Presented by Spiegelworld, EMPIRE is in Australia following its world premiere in New York City last summer. Already playing to capacity crowds, the show proudly celebrated its official Melbourne opening last week, with the performance concluding in standing ovations and rave reviews from media, celebrities and the general public.
Spiegelworld Impresario Ross Mollison said, “The Rooftop at Crown is just the most spectacular location in Melbourne. No event has ever been held up there, so audiences are not only discovering an incredible new show, but also discovering the hottest venue in town. The Sunday 5pm shows will be a spectacular way to end the weekend, especially if you come up early and enjoy a drink before the main event.”
General Manager Public Relations, Crown Melbourne, Ann Peacock, said: “The Rooftop at Crown is Melbourne’s newest location and we are thrilled to be hosting Spiegelworld’s internationally renowned performance, Empire. A dynamic show featuring world-class talent and attracting rave reviews deserves an equally impressive stage.”
EMPIRE smashes the boundaries of circus, cabaret, variety and burlesque, reinventing the genres for a 21st century audience.
Spiegelworld first presented its annual summer season in New York City on Pier 17, South Street Seaport with acclaimed shows including Absinthe, La Vie, Gazillionaire’s Late Night Lounge and Desir. For the world premiere season of EMPIRE last year, Spiegelworld relocated to a premium vacant lot right in the heart of Broadway, the first time a tent show had ever been presented at Times Square. Spiegelworld is currently presenting Absinthe in the forecourt of Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, now in its 19th sold-out month, and recently extended through to 2015.
