Le Crazy Horse is the hottest and most avant-garde cabaret in Paris, but such luxury and extravagance also comes with an equally exclusive fee.
Luckily for us, for four days only, private sales club vente-privee.com are offering members discounted tickets to the cabaret’s acclaimed show, Désirs, in their one-off Flash Sale.
Included in the package is half a bottle of champagne, so you can enjoy the show in style and make it a fabulously decadent evening.
Located on the chic Avenue George V, just off the Champs-Élysées, Le Crazy Horse was opened in 1951 and remains a family business today, celebrating l’art du nu with spectacular visual effects, choreography and edgy costumes.
It has recently attracted glamorous celebrity pin-ups such as Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra, Arielle Dombasle and Dita Von Teese, who starred in a two-week residency last year.
Directed by French choreographer, Philippe Decouflé, Désirs is inspired ‘by the endless theme of femininity’, with a nod to Parisian culture, and features magic and sketches between the nude dance shows.
Around five years ago, Steven took me to Paris for Christmas and arranged for us to go to the Moulin Rouge, where we got a front row table with a bottle of champagne. It was one of the best nights ever and we enjoyed a glitzy, over-the-top show with glamorous dancers, a troupe of miniature Shetland ponies, a python in an 8ft tank and a ‘talking dog’.
The Crazy Horse is probably a completely different experience to the Moulin Rouge, with the emphasis on seduction and light effects rather than pure spectacle and theatre.
The Flash Sale takes place at www.vente-privee.com from Thursday 10 June for four days and offers tickets for performances at Le Crazy Horse in Paris between 1 July 2010 and 31 August 2010.
If you book an evening at Le Crazy Horse and want somewhere equally stylish to stay, I’d personally recommend Hotel Lutetia, in the heart of the literary Left Bank. Dita stayed in a suite at the Lutetia during her two-week residency at Le Crazy Horse last year, and so did I (perhaps we shared the same bed). Read my review and see the photos here.
Hotel Lutetia is celebrating its centenary this year with a programme full of special events and offers, including a 100 Euro gift voucher to be spent at the Lutetia, for stays of 3 consecutive night until 31 December 2010. For more information, visit the website.
