LIDO PARIS SHOW @ Cavalli Club on May 2, 3 2014
LIDO PARIS which has been running for over 22 years in Las Vegas and more than 50 years in Paris will be performing in the Middle East for the first time ever!
LIDO is one of the most famous traveling shows! Every evening, its huge ship anchored on the Champs- Elysees hosts 2,000 spectators who are dazzled by the luxurious costumes , tempo of the show, beauty of the dancers and the outstanding supper prepared by Philippe Lacroix.
The Lido is a cabaret and burlesque show establishment on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, France which
opened in 1946, famous for its exotic shows, and where Elvis Presley gave an impromptu concert.[citation needed] Other famous names who have performed there include: Edith Piaf, Sylvie Vartan, Johnny Hallyday, Maurice Chevalier, Marlene Dietrich, Josephine Baker, Kessler Twins, Elton John, Laurel & Hardy, Dalida, Shirley MacLaine, Mitzi Gaynor and Noël Coward.
In 1946, Joseph and Louis Clerico took over the Lido, a venue that had been very fashionable in the Belle Époque of the 1920s with a décor inspired by Venice and its celebrated Lido beach.
They transformed it from top to bottom to create a one-of-a-kind cabaret.
Many glitteringly successful revues followed, each more spectacular than its predecessor. And for each one, the world’s most glamorous avenue was the scene of a star-studded opening night, attended by the cream of international high society.
In 1958, the Lido show was produced at the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas. The original contract was for six months. It was extended…for thirty-two years.
But those most celebrated to grace the stage of the Lido de Paris are the famous Bluebell Girls who still provide a spectacular show.
In fact such is the spectacle of Lido de Paris show that over 70 artists perform with over 600 costumes and 23 different sets.
It was my pleasure to interview one of the beautiful dancers: Claire Galtier.
