Their time at The Linq Hotel nothing more than a brief sojourn, the Chippendales reopen Thursday night their eponymous theater at Planet Hollywood. The show I’ve called the Yankees of male revues (meaning it’s the league leader in brand recognition) is now swiveling on the hotel’s second level, across from the Criss Angel Theater.

Chippendales are hardly a nomadic production, until recently. The show enjoyed a 23-year run at its own theater at the Rio, where it closed New Year’s Eve. This move marks their third venue within a year. The male revue opened at the Mat Franco Theater (the show’s juxtaposition to magicians is coincidental) on Jan. 17.
