Following critical acclaim, unanimously rave reviews, and sold out performances receiving multiple standing ovations, Spiegelworld’s EMPIRE has released the final tickets to its last performances in Melbourne. EMPIRE must close on Sunday May 12.
Due to the overwhelming demand to the hottest show in Melbourne, EMPIRE has also just announced extra performances on Thursday May 2 and Thursday May 9, with new session times of 7:30pm and 9:30pm. Tickets are available through Ticketek: www.ticketek.com.au
This final Melbourne extension brings to a close a spectacular eight-week season held in the 700-seat antique Spiegeltent, featuring the most intimate stage in town, and set on the stunning Rooftop at Crown Melbourne.
Following the Melbourne season, EMPIRE will perform for Brisbane audiences in King George Square, from May 24.
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 this 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.
