Name: The Last Showgirl at the Rio Theatre
Start: 2025-03-10T18:30:00-07:00
Location: The Rio Theatre

THE LAST SHOWGIRL, a poignant film of resilience, rhinestones and feathers, stars BC’s own Pamela Anderson in a Golden-Globe nominated performance as a glamorous Las Vegas showgirl named Shelly, who must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run.
Directed by Gia Coppola (PALO ALTO), THE LAST SHOWGIRL co-stars Oscar-winner winner Jamie Lee Curtis as Shelly’s best friend, who brings her own unique interpretation and brilliance to the story, Dave Bautista, Brenda Song, Kiernan Shipka and Billie Lourd.
“[Gia]Coppola clearly loves the flash and flesh of Vegas, its sparkle and its haze, but she loves her characters more, and she takes all of them on their own terms.” (New York Times)
“It’s impossible not to be enchanted by Anderson’s compassionate turn, and her tender work makes it all the more heartbreaking to watch Shelly refuse to go quietly into the night.” (Salon.com)
“Outside of her time in dressing rooms and on stage, Anderson doesn’t wear much makeup in the film, but that’s not what makes her performance brave. Instead, it’s the unflinching look she takes at the realities of life for all of us as we get older.” (Consequence)
“This is not a blood-and-guts show business exposé — it’s a diaphanous portrait of a woman who, like Anderson herself, wafts through life like a marabou feather. It’s less a story than a vibe.” (Los Angeles Times)
