This Valentine’s Day, treat yourself to some kings.

On Feb. 14, burlesque troupe Slaughterhouse Society and friends will bring out seven drag kings for “Heartbreakers and Heartthrobs: A Drag King Valentine’s Day Under the Dome.”

“The candles are lit, the rose petals are aplenty,” the event page reads. “All that we need to make the night perfect…is you.”

The show kicks off at 7:30 p.m., but guests that arrive early can indulge in a cash bar and free light snacks in the planetarium lobby.

Heartbreakers and Heartthrobs: A Drag King Valentine’s Day Under the Dome; Thursday, Feb. 14 from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Museum of Science, Cambridge; $15; recommended for 18+.
