With its huge mirrors, its wall of breasts designed by César and its ubiquitous red color, Crazy Horse has made its identity and its show one of the capital's most renowned, so much so that it attracts international stars when they visit Paris.
Created by Alain Bernardin in 1951 with the idea of putting the end in the center of attention, of sublimating it... Crazy Horse was then called "Crazy Horse saloon" and proposed a show around cowboys. Only Crazy Horse has remained, with the same values but a slightly different show: what makes the place so special is that the dancers' bodies are dressed in kaleidoscope lights. " We dress the dancers in light costumes", says one of the Crazy Girls ( the name given to the troupe of dancers who perform on stage every day).
For these high-level sportswomen, who take you behind the scenes of their workplace during the Heritage Days (in which case the Crazy's backstage area is closed to the public), a certain dress code is de rigueur, with the daily wearing of Lou Boutin shoes measuring a minimum of 10 or 13 cm, and compulsory lips painted the bright red shade crazy (the composition and origin of which are kept secret)...
During their training, each Crazy Girl is given a stage name, based on her character and personality, which she is free to refuse just once. After training, each dancer sets about creating her stage persona, developing her attitude, her character: each is chosen for her charisma, what she exudes, and all have strong personalities that stand out in the numbers: "strip-tease moi", the famous "lesson in eroticism", and so on.
At Crazy Horse, the atmosphere is intimate and cosy, the show takes place just a few meters away from the audience, and only 10 dancers perform on stage... A setting and high standards that have made this cabaret famous for decades!
Although Crazy Horse only opens its dancers' dressing rooms and Mr. Bernardin's office during the Journées du Patrimoine, the show is presented every day of the year, with several performances every day: an opportunity to immerse yourself in one of the world's most famous cabarets for the duration of the show! In addition, you can also opt for an exclusive tour of Crazy, 1h30 before show time and with a dancer: simply select the appropriate ticket for this when you place your order to come to the cabaret. Shows are presented Sunday to Friday at 8pm and 10:30pm, and on Saturday at 7pm, 9:30pm and 11:45pm. The Crazy Horse boutique is open Sunday to Friday, 6pm to 11pm, and Saturday, 6pm to 1:30am.
