Just in case anyone was wondering how the Moulin Rouge was - I enjoyed it, but I don't think I would've paid 99€ to see it.
It started off pretty slow, and I found the mens' costumes to be incredibly cheesy (think white, sequined pantsuits). Speaking of which- I had no clue there were men involved. And why were they always fully clothed??
They picked up the pace after a while though, and I enjoyed several of the acts. I was also surprised to discover that there were non-dance acts - such as an acrobatic act and a ventriloquist - and that some of the numbers involved singing. It almost seemed more like a comedie-musicale than a cabaret.
This should give you a pretty good idea of the show though (warning - there are some topless women in the video):
Did you see the girl dancer who came to the K&K picnic a couple of years ago? Her name is Lynette.
ReplyDeleteThe music alone has me sold.
ReplyDeleteThe Moulin Rouge is more geared towards tourists. If you want a real envelope-pushing Parisian cabaret, check out Crazy Horse. The great Dita von Teese has performed there several times.
ReplyDeleteI liked it!
ReplyDeleteI need to work on my can-can
Good to know you had fun. This definitely looks like a good variety show.
