"When women bring their girls' night parties to a Chippendales show, we want them to feel empowered, like they are stepping into an unencumbered fantasy," says Chippendales Managing Partner, Kevin Denberg. "House of Blues complements this vision by selecting sexy venues, with a cool historic vibe providing the perfect backdrop and ambiance for our show - we take care of the rest."

"I love working with Chippendales!" says Kelly Kapp, Senior Vice President of House of Blues Entertainment. "I look forward to these shows each year and cannot wait to get another great tour on sale."

The Chippendales sweeten the deal with brand new show features for the Break the Rules Tour. Creative Director Bryan Cheatham has amped up the stage production, bringing fantasies to life and giving brides-to-be something new to blush about. Think "Uptown Funk" meets downtown girls' night out. Chippendales amplify the already intense energy of the live show with new music and choreography. From bachelorettes, to BFF's, to birthday girls - party-goers can rest assured that one thing remains the same - the boys next door are still the fresh, fun guys they have come to love and look forward to seeing each year. The Chippendales know how to surprise, delight, and excite with every sexy move they make.

Chippendales began driving women wild in 1979 as the first all-male dance troupe. They set the standard in "Girls' Night Out" entertainment and epitomize the female fantasy. Their act is consistently touted for offering the greatest, most heart-pounding performances cultivated specifically for women. The iconic Chippendales quickly became a pop-culture phenomenon in the early '80s and continuously invigorate their shows with new songs, sets, and routines to reflect the desires of their audience. The Chippendales began in Los Angeles before opening up a club in New York. Later they launched successful touring troupes that traveled the world, producing shows across Europe, the UK, Australia and Asia. Today the show's flagship company plays nightly at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas with celebrity guest stars such as supermodel Tyson Beckford. The touring company travels the world, pleasing the masses beginning in North America and continuing internationally throughout the year.

Over the last 35 years, the men of Chippendales have performed for more than 100 million women in over 100 countries, they've travelled more than 6.7 million miles while touring and on that long, hard journey they have torn off over 1.2 million shirts, worn 56,000 bowties and have been photographed more than 70 million times… the number of women who felt they "melted inside" remains incalculable but it's definitely a lot. The famous Chippendales calendar became the first all-male calendar targeted to women, has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and has been printed in over nine languages. Thank goodness for 2016 as it marks the publication of a new Chippendales calendar.
