Experience the magic of Crazy Horse Paris

Last Updated:

Paris isn’t just the city of love—it’s also the city of lights, glam, and cabaret. And when it comes to pushing artistic boundaries while keeping things undeniably Parisian, Crazy Horse Paris does it best.

If you’re looking for a night that’s equal parts elegant, bold, and unforgettable, the Crazy Horse Paris Show should be on your list. Here's what you need to know before booking your tickets to this iconic Paris cabaret.

What Is the Crazy Horse Paris Show?

Let’s set the record straight—it’s not your average cabaret.

Artistic, Avant-Garde & Alluring

Since 1951, Crazy Horse has redefined the art of burlesque with high-concept performances, dramatic lighting, precision choreography, and—yes—fierce femininity. It’s risqué, but also refined. Think less “raunchy” and more “Rihanna meets a contemporary art exhibit.”

Pop Culture Cred

Beyoncé has drawn inspiration from it. Dita Von Teese has performed in it. Even Christian Louboutin collaborated with the show. If you’re into fashion, performance art, or bold aesthetics—this is your scene.

What to Expect at Crazy Horse Paris


From the moment you enter the intimate, red-velvet venue just steps from the Seine, you’ll know you’re in for something special.

  • World-Class Performers: Each dancer is a trained artist, and the group moves in perfect sync with a kind of hypnotic grace. Every performance is sharp, bold, and seriously stylish.
  • Mesmerizing Lighting & Effects: Lighting plays a huge role here. Expect shadows, colors, and silhouettes working together to create illusions that feel part magic, part fashion editorial.
  • Sensory Overload (In a Good Way): Music, light, and movement come together for a 90-minute show that feels like it flies by. From sultry solos to high-energy group numbers, there’s never a dull moment.

Show Timings & Seating Tips


There are typically two evening shows—one around 8 PM and another closer to 10:30 PM. Fridays and Saturdays may offer a third late-night show, too.

  • Seating Is Intimate: The venue is cozy and cabaret-style, so you’re never far from the stage. But if you're looking for the full experience, splurge a bit for premium seats near the front (worth it).
  • Add Champagne, Because Paris: Many ticket options include champagne or even caviar. You’re at one of the most exclusive venues in Paris—why not go all in?

Who Is This Show For?


  • Lovers of art, dance, and theatrical innovation
  • Couples looking for a romantic (and slightly cheeky) night out
  • Travelers wanting a unique Parisian cultural experience beyond the usual.

  • Dress Up a Bit: There’s no strict dress code, but it’s Paris, and this is cabaret. Smart casual to cocktail attire fits the vibe.
  • Arrive Early: Doors usually open 30–45 minutes before showtime. Get there early to settle in, sip your drink, and enjoy the atmosphere.
  • Plan Dinner Around It: Make it a full evening with dinner nearby—there are plenty of romantic bistros within walking distance.
