Showgirls is coming back to The Frida Cinema as we celebrate its 30th anniversary with a two-night-only spectacular!
Fresh to Las Vegas with no connections, Nomi Malone (Elizabeth Berkley) takes a job as an exotic dancer. Her talents are quickly noticed by Cristal (Gina Gershon), a headlining dancer who senses an opportunity to bolster her own act. But Nomi won’t play second fiddle and soon begins her venomous path to the top, ruthlessly backstabbing anyone who gets in her way.
Three decades after its release, Showgirls stands as a striking example of misunderstood cinema—equal parts satire, spectacle, and critique of American capitalism, it may be the shiniest jewel in our Pride Month programming crown for 2025.
