Live! The "Jardin d Paris" 1900's Troupe Presents Showgirls in Paris! Saturday AND Sunday 1pm

Return to the early days of the French Cancan ...this Saturday 3/31 AND Sunday 4/1 on the Concert Lawn on Rhapsody Isles

Come dressed in period outfits and see this fantastic burlesque musical in Moulin Rouge style. It will remind you that, at that time, there wasn't only strip tease, but a Revue composed of "comiques troupiers", singers, "caf'conc" singers, with chorus girls dancing between sketches.

Moulin Rouge's dancers were famous worldwide for inventing of the French Cancan dance, a kind of gallop where ladies legs are thrown in the air sharing some very appreciated anatomical secrets !

Those s musicals were the forerunner of the golden age of "Femmes Fatales' and beautiful women we’d later admire at the Folies Bergeres in 1868, and Moulin Rouge (which became the Reine Blanche 20 years late) with its famous Jardin de Paris. These French performances became not only the origin of the Music Hall but the “Star System” as well. And, in 1907, coming from the other side of the Atlantic with the sublime Mr. Ziegfield and his Folies, helped shape Broadway and Hollywood forever.

Don’t miss this wonderful show on a specially designed stage at the Concert Lawn on Rhapsody Isles
