30/08/2024: Vibrant, loud, dazzling. Probably the most bizarre show I have ever seen, but still such good fun. High energy, lots of colour and beautiful people dancing around and singing. The venue is superb, giving the ambience of debauchery mixed with devilment. I would have gone just to see the can-can which was amazing. Loved it.
30/08/2024: An experience to live at least once in your life!
To repeat a previous comment: "the weirdest show I've ever seen"!
You find yourself in a room filled to capacity with people from all walks of life, from all countries, a magnificent cosmopolitan gathering. It's so enriching, it serves the general atmosphere of this unique place.
The decoration of the room is incredible and totally pays homage to the history of the Moulin Rouge, all these colors, references to fare shows... there are everywhere!
I was quite unsettled at first to be seated with strangers.
Having come alone, I had an American woman in front of me and next to me a group of Spaniards. We didn't know each other, and yet, what an atmosphere at the table...! It was great.
During the meal, we attended a great little concert of famous covers by a duo of singers and a few musicians.
But also to the moving marriage proposal of a gentleman to his lady, and we applauded at Juliette's birthday (we still don't know who it is).
Then around 9:00 p.m. the Show started.
Special mention +++ for the catering team who were very warm and adorable with me during the meal service! I have excellent memories of our little exchanges.
The show is very special: it's magnificent, strange, funny, seductive... in short, incomparable to any other show you can see in your life.
3 cuts were applied during the show with speakers having their own performances. I really enjoyed these little moments which were all breathtaking!
My only regret is the beer! I asked for a draft of blonde on my menu and was offered a... small bottle of Heineken?! This is the only beer that was offered. I hallucinated. Are we in France or not? I had half a bottle of white wine instead.
Also, big injustice on the dress code:
We all have to be dressed in a certain way, with a certain style of shoes, a certain item of clothing is prohibited, etc. otherwise we don't get in.
And... before entering the room, we see Asian tourists passing by our queue dressed in everything that the dress code prohibits. And of course, they enter without problems.
At that moment, the Moulin Rouge lost all its credibility in our eyes.
