Running from a troubled past, a mysterious young drifter who calls herself Nomi Malone hitches a ride to Las Vegas, where she sets her sights on clawing her way to the top of the glamourous world of showgirls. 
Derided on its initial release in 1995, Showgirls is a typically over-the-top and sexually explicit outing from veteran cinematic provocateur Paul Verhoeven. Despite its ill-fated beginnings, the film has found a glorious second life: reclaimed by the LGBTQ community as a camp classic and re-evaluated as an exploration of American excess alongside other Verhoven works such as Robocop and Starship Troopers. 

Event/ Join us for in-screen performances inspired by Nomi Malone herself and a 90s Vegas party in the bar with DJ Thom Docking playing Madonna, Prince and so much more, darlin'!
