Chippendales The Show

Show Review

It's Raining Men

By Caroline Fountain

The names Kevin, Chris, Juan and Billy may not sound like anything special, but these are not your average guys. Like the other members of Chippendales, these heartthrobs are tan with sculpted bodies and perfect smiles.

While standing on stage wearing the signature Chippendales' costume - a bow tie, wrist cuffs and jeans, the men fulfill just about every female fantasy, but they do a lot more than just look pretty. These men can dance and they demonstrate their aptitude in pelvic thrusting and hip shaking to the screams of women in the audience cheering for more.

To spice things up even more, Chippendales often has male celebrities who guest star as host of the show. From now until June 24 TV heartthrob Joey Lawrence is hosting the show. Whoa!

There are 10 men that make up the Chippendales cast. Each of them is good looking and varied enough in appearance to suit all tastes. "Tall, blonde, dark and lean rough and tough and strong and mean," this show has it all. The uninterrupted flow of gorgeous performers entering and leaving the stage becomes a live version of the Weather Girls' hit "It's Raining Men." 

With each new scene the men portray a different female fantasy. First, it's construction workers, then cowboys and later doctors looking for a patient from the audience. Women leap out of their seats in hopes of being selected to join the hunks on stage.

Next, the men do a re-enactment of "The Dating Game" where three women in the audience are selected to go on stage and compete for their shot at getting some up-close and personal attention with three of the performers.

Ladies don't worry if you're not selected, you still have a few more opportunities to get your hands on these cocoa-butter-basted babes. Throughout the show they walk into the audience to dance and flirt with women in the crowd.

While the men may not be available, you're still in luck if you're looking for a keepsake to take home. The performers' white tank tops are one of the first things that are torn off every time they strip, and the shirts usually get thrown into the crowd. These former Chippendale-chest-hugging tanks are a hot commodity. Women in the audience don't hesitate to jump and dive to get their hands on them.

When it comes to having fun for a girls' night out, bachelorette party or other special occasion, Chippendales the Show is the epitome of every female fantasy. Afterwards, you can continue your night of male indulgence in Flirt Lounge located next to the showroom. The performers invite everyone to join them there for some fun after the show.
