Paris Crazy Horse Cabaret Show with Beverages including Champagne

Paris does a lot well, but it does adult cabaret with a very specific kind of polish. Crazy Horse is close to the Champs-Elysées, and the club’s current show, Totally Crazy, is designed as a glamorous night of music, dance, and bold spectacle in a small, theatrical space. Totally Crazy brings 65 years of cabaret to a modern stage, with creative leadership from Andrée Deissenberg and show direction by Stéphane Jarny.

What I like most is the ticket value and the service during the show. You get half a bottle of Champagne (or two drinks per person), so you are not scrambling for a bar tab in the middle of the night. I also like that the entertainment is built as a full production, with standout names tied to the creative world around the show, not just generic dancers on a stage.

One thing to consider before you buy: this is adult entertainment with partial nudity and a provocative vibe. It may not be your thing if you want something family-friendly or if you prefer straightforward can-can style dancing without the edge.

Key takeaways before you go

• Near Alma Marceau and the Champs-Élysées: easy to reach by public transport, ideal for a planned night out.
• Included Champagne or drinks: half-bottle Champagne, or two drink choices per person, included in the price.
• Totally Crazy production: built around 65 years of Crazy Horse cabaret, guided by Andrée Deissenberg and directed by Stéphane Jarny.
• Multiple showtimes: from 8:30pm and 11pm (Sun to Fri), to 7pm, 9:30pm, and 12am (Saturday).
• Elegant attire rules: no shorts, sports shoes, or sportswear. Tie and jacket not required.
• Age 16+ only: under-16s are not permitted, and the show has partial nudity.

Crazy Horse de Paris, set up for a true Paris night out

Crazy Horse de Paris sits in the 8th arrondissement area, not far from the Champs-Élysées and close to Alma Marceau metro station. That matters because you can pair the show with a proper dinner and still keep your evening simple. You are not committing to some far-flung venue that eats your whole night.

For your planning, your ticket redemption point is at 12 Av. George V, 75008 Paris. That address puts you in the right neighborhood for pre-show wandering, then a quick hop to the venue once you’re settled.

Inside, the vibe is classic Paris cabaret, not a huge arena show. That intimacy tends to make the performance feel closer and more personal. It is also why I think this works best as an adults-only date-night activity, or a grown-up girls night, where you can actually enjoy the room as much as the acts.

Totally Crazy show: where 65 years meets modern stagecraft

Totally Crazy is a celebration of 65 years of glamorous cabaret, and you feel that in how the show is constructed. It is not just one long “song and dance” sequence. It’s a string of iconic cabaret elements, reworked with a dash of impertinence, plus fresh production touches.

Creative direction is credited to Andrée Deissenberg, with the show directed by Stéphane Jarny. If you like recognizing names in the creative credits, this is part of what makes Crazy Horse feel like a real show-business machine. The show also credits contributions and acts associated with Philippe Decouflé, Christian Louboutin, Chantal Thomass, Dita Von Teese, Ali Mahdavi, and Stéphane Lucas.

In practical terms, what you should expect is a mix of performance styles. You’ll see dance and choreography, but you’ll also see stage effects and lighting that make the visuals feel like part of the show, not just background. One thing I’d flag honestly, based on how the production is described by people who attended: the show leans into glamour and spectacle with special effects, and you may also notice lip-sync as part of the performance style. If you are expecting a nonstop, traditional dance-heavy can-can workout, your experience may feel more like a theatrical variety production than a purely ballroom-cabaret dance show.

What your $167.75 actually buys (and when it is a smart value)

The price is $167.75 per person, and the show lasts about 1 hour 30 minutes. On top of that, your ticket includes half a bottle of Champagne or two drinks per person. That is the core value here.

Why that matters: in Paris, a “nice night out” can quickly become expensive once you add drinks at venue prices. If you already planned to order Champagne, this ticket turns your show into a bundle deal. You get the performance, plus the included drinks, without turning the evening into an accounting exercise.

If you want even more, there are upgrade options built around Champagne and food pairing. You can choose show only, or you can add half a bottle of regular Champagne or half a bottle of Millésime Champagne with sweet and savory canapés (pastries) from a high-end Parisian patisserie. That upgrade can be worth it if you want this night to feel like dinner and a show combined, rather than show plus a separate meal.

My practical take: if Champagne is part of your “Paris moment,” this is one of the easier ways to control costs while still enjoying the signature cabaret atmosphere.

A simple evening flow: check-in, seating, drinks, then the show

This is not a multi-stop tour. It is a single, concentrated stop: you head to Crazy Horse, check in, and settle in for the performance.

Here is how the night typically feels for you, step by step:

1. Arrive and check in. You will redeem/collect your ticket using the provided 12 Av. George V redemption point details.
2. Get seated. Seating happens based on availability. If you arrive late, you might end up with seats that are less ideal. One of the most common tips people share with this kind of venue is simple: try not to cut it too close.
3. Coats and belongings. You may see a coat check and gift shop setup around the flow to get inside. Plan to move through it fast so you are not stuck figuring it out mid-presentation.
4. Beverage service. Your included Champagne or drinks are part of the experience during the show. Champagne is served as part of the night, not as an add-on after the act.
5. Totally Crazy runs for about 1.5 hours, and it is designed to keep you engaged from start to finish.

Showtimes are important for your planning. From Sunday to Friday there are two shows each night at 8:30pm and 11pm. On Saturday, you get three shows at 7pm, 9:30pm, and 12am. If you’re traveling with a group and trying to build the rest of your schedule, pick the showtime first, then build dinner and pre-show plans around it.

Dress code at Crazy Horse: classy, but not fussy

Crazy Horse asks for elegant attire. You do not need a tie or jacket, but you do need to dress like you’re going out in Paris, not like you’re grabbing groceries.

The rules you should follow:

• No shorts
• No short-pants
• No sport shoes
• No sportswear

Hats and hoodies are a personal comfort call. The key is footwear and overall “street athletic” vibe. If you want to look correct fast, wear neat shoes and something that looks like dinner attire.

One more practical note: plan for comfort in an indoor show setting. Paris can be cool in the evening, and cabaret nights often involve sitting for long minutes between act transitions.

The adult-only reality check: partial nudity and a provocative style

You need to know the content before you go. This performance has partial nudity and is provocative in tone. Under-16s are not permitted, and the minimum age is 16.

So what does that mean for you?

• If you’re buying tickets for a date and you want a distinctly grown-up Paris experience, this is exactly the point.
• If you are sensitive to sexuality on stage, or if you want something more “traditional performance” with minimal body exposure, you may find it uncomfortable.

Also, manage expectations about the show format. Some people love Crazy Horse specifically because it is artful and theatrical, not just a can-can show. Others go in hoping for nonstop dance routines and feel surprised by the balance between spectacle, bodies, and stage production. If you are torn, I’d use this rule: go if you want cabaret theater, not if you want only choreography.

Getting the best seats: arrive smart without obsessing

This is a show with limited group size, with a maximum of 10 travelers, so you’re not dealing with a chaotic mass. Still, seating is not guaranteed in the way it might be for a fixed-seat concert.

Because seating can depend on availability, your goal is simple: arrive early enough that you are not late, and then stop worrying. Late arrivals can lead to less ideal placement.

A practical approach:

• Aim to arrive with enough buffer that you can check in and handle coats quickly.
• Do not show up at the exact last second. Even a few minutes can matter in a venue with a flow line.

If you’re traveling solo, you can still do well, but I’d give yourself a bigger arrival window to reduce the chance that you get pushed into the back area.

Who this is best for, and who should skip it

Crazy Horse is best for adults who want a classic Paris nightlife experience that feels unmistakably Paris, not a generic entertainment factory. It also fits well if you like performance art and stagecraft.

This is a strong match if:

• You want a date-night plan with included Champagne
• You’re curious about cabaret as an art form
• You want something different from the big, splashier headline shows

I’d think twice if:

• You do not want partial nudity or a provocative tone
• You expect a very “can-can nonstop dance” experience
• Your idea of classy nightlife means fully clothed performances only

Pair it with dinner nearby for a smooth, local-feeling evening

Because the venue is near the Champs-Élysées and well connected by public transport, you can build a nice rhythm:

• Pre-show, take it easy with a drink or light bite nearby.
• Then do dinner close to the venue after the show or before, depending on your showtime.

People also like the strategy of doing dinner nearby after the performance, so you can extend the Paris night without rushing back across town. If you want a concrete example of the kind of restaurant plan people suggest, one commonly named option for a post-show meal is Chez André, which sits in the general “dinner near the action” category.

Should you book Crazy Horse with beverages and Champagne?

Book it if you want a distinctly Paris adult cabaret night, and you plan to drink Champagne anyway. The included half bottle (or two drinks) helps the value, and the show itself is built as a real production with known creative leadership behind it.

Skip it if you are buying based on a family-friendly mindset, or if you want a performance that avoids nudity and stays purely dance-focused. Also skip if you’re likely to feel disappointed by a cabaret format that leans into theatrical spectacle and provocative artistry rather than a continuous, choreography-first show.

If you match the vibe, Crazy Horse is one of those “only in this city” nights that turns your evening into a story you’ll still be telling when you get home.
