What is Crazy Horse Paris? Famous French cabaret show to open in Dubai

Crazy Horse Paris, one of France's most renowned cabaret shows, will be making its debut in Dubai, bringing its unique blend of dance, music, lighting, and theatrical illusions to the Middle East for the first time. The production, titled The Dubai Edition, will open at Zabeel Theatre on Palm Jumeirah on November 12, with ticket prices starting at Dh400. This is the only permanent Crazy Horse Paris show outside of Paris, where it has been entertaining audiences for 75 years.

The Dubai edition has been specifically adapted for the region, incorporating local culture and customs while maintaining the show's signature style. Featuring 18 international dancers, the 200-seat venue will present a 90-minute performance, which can be extended to three hours with the Show & Dinner option. The evening includes choreographed dance routines, visual effects, a DJ, and a master of ceremonies, followed by a DJ set after the final performance.

Andree Deissenberg, the show's artistic director, emphasizes the balance between preserving Crazy Horse Paris's artistic heritage and tailoring the production to the Dubai audience. The show will draw on the cabaret's visual language and creative precision while introducing new elements. Admission is restricted to guests aged 21 and above, with tickets for The Show starting at Dh400 and The Show & Dinner priced at Dh900.
