Nomi Malone hitches a ride to Las Vegas and sets about clawing her way to the top in this 4K screening of the beloved camp classic with added in-screen drag performances
Showgirls was derided and ridiculed on its release in 1995, sexually explicit and over the top the film directed by Paul Verhoeven, and starring Kyle MacLachlan and Gina Gershon was a flop and all but killed off Elizabeth Berkley’s career.
Since then it has been reclaimed by the LGBTQ community as a camp classic, living on the midnight movie circuit and since being reevaluated as an exploration of American excess alongside Verhoven’s other venerated satires including Robocop and Starship Troopers.
This provocative showstopper is back on the big screen, restored in glittering 4K as part of SCENE 2025.
Join us for in-screen drag performances inspired by Nomi Malione herself.
