The musical "Cancan" at the Musical Comedy Theater of St. Petersburg invites viewers to immerse themselves in the enchanting atmosphere of Paris at the end of the 19th century. Inspired by the Belle Époque, this show takes us to the heart of the bohemian life of Montmartre, where the owner of the Bal du Paradis, Simone Pistache, puts on a cancan performance every night, causing both admiration and controversy.
The story of the musical revolves around the confrontation between Simone and the young judge Aristide Forestier, who wants to close the establishment because of the “indecent” dance. But will he be able to resist Simone’s charm? This intrigue, full of passion and unexpected twists, keeps the audience in suspense until the very end.
The musical premiered on Broadway in 1953 and was a stunning success, winning two Tony Awards. In 1960, a film starring Shirley MacLaine and Frank Sinatra was made, which also received critical acclaim.
