We have traveled to Paris before and seen some wonderful shows. This time, we thought we might take in a Cabaret show. Does anyone have any recommendations or preferences? I realize that we can see a Paris theater production of Chicago for much less than a Cabaret, but we thought what the heck - we got to see a CanCan show at least once in our trips to Paris. Any preferences between the Moulin Rouge, Lido, Le Paradis, or Crazy Horse? Dinner is not a necessity, as we always enjoy at the smaller restaurants.

The only one I know of is Moulin Rouge. I haven't been but many French friends have assured me it's a very good show - not just for tourists. I wouldn't go for a dinner show, get dinner somewhere else and just go for the show.

I’ve only been to the Moulin Rouge. It was ok. Like a Vegas show. Expensive.
Where in Paris did you see a Can-Can show?

Susan - call it my bit Southern bad grammer. I should have said, we need to try to see a CanCan show a least once. I hear both he Moulin Rouge, Lido, and Paradis all have CanCan shows.

Moulin Rouge had about 20 sec of Can-Can in the 1.5 hr (?) show we saw... might have more now but i don’t think so.
We’d love to see an actual Can-Can show. Have never heard that the Lido or Paradis does, but i’d need to do more research. Been hoping you’d get more responses with good info... : )
