An eclectic show

Besides showing some skin for the ladies, they danced to the hit dance song "Better Off Alone," and they played such roles as construction workers, policemen, firemen, cowboys, as well as navy officers. One of the talented performers and singers, Canyon, serenaded the audience to "Fight Song" by pop songstress Rachel Platten with his smooth vocals.
They also encouraged audience participation, where they invited several females from the audience on stage with them to partake in game show activities.Their show included clips from the latest pop songs (songs by Usher, Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars), and they even reenacted a scene from "Fifty Shades of Grey." They even threw some country in the mix with "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)" from country duo Big & Rich.
Boy band set
Fans of '90s music were in for a real treat, especially since the Chippendales performed songs by some of the biggest pop groups of our time. They covered hits from the Backstreet Boys such as "Everybody" and "I Want It That Way," as well as New Kids on the Block with their throwback songs "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" and "Step by Step." In this segment, they proved to be noteworthy musicians, in addition to dancers.
