Overview

Tall, blonde and often manufactured, the dancers are all about flash at this Times Square tourist gentlemen's club staple

History

Letterman's punchline, now on 45th Street

Flashdancers was a longtime punchline for David Letterman, after he moved to the Ed Sullivan Theatre in 1993¹. Our old listing called it a Times Square tourist staple.

Its run at 1674 Broadway ended in 2018, when Sapphire replaced it^{1, 2}. Flashdancers shut down there in October 2018 and moved to the old Private Eyes location³.

It's now FlashDancers Midtown, at 320 West 45th Street, open seven days a week until 4am^{4, 5}.
