Due to overwhelming demand and sold-out crowds in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, the show – which promises to ‘‘smash the boundaries’’ and ‘‘reinvent the genres’’ – has added 16 performances to its Newcastle season.
Empire had its world premiere season in New York City last year, becoming the first tented show in Times Square.
The 700-seat antique spiegeltent, complete with bevelled mirrors, velvet-upholstered seating booths, a speakeasy-style bar and ‘‘the most intimate stage in town’’, will host the 90-minute theatrobatic adventure performed by some of the most daring artists from across the globe.
Empire will run until December 8.
