Their act is consistently touted for offering the greatest, most heart-pounding performances cultivated specifically for women. Today, the show’s flagship company plays nightly at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and features celebrity guest stars such as supermodel, Tyson Beckford, who is currently headlining the production. The touring company travels the world, pleasing the masses, and brining the party to the people.

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 and 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.
