Dancers from Crazy Horse Paris have finally
arrived in Singapore. Singapore¡¯s Crazy Horse Paris venue is located in
the premier Clarke Quay 24-hour entertainment precinct. It is the
largest Crazy Horse venue in the world, featuring a 450-seater theatre ¨C
and the first in Asia. |
|
Crazy Horse Paris is known around the world
for its amazing, passionate mix of dance, music and stunning lighting
effects. |
|
The show is a celebration of l¡¯art du nu
(the art of the nude), where dancers highlight the beauty of the female
form in a spectacular cabaret show. |
|
Crazy Horse has been drawing sellout crowds
to its Parisian base for more than 50 years. A sister show opened in Las
Vegas in 2001 and has become a major tourist attraction in one of the
most competitive entertainment environments in the world. |
|
And now, Singapore will become the first
city in Asia to host a Crazy Horse Paris cabaret, ahead of a number of
other Asian cities that bid for the rights to the show. |
|
Eng Wah Organization has signed a
groundbreaking deal with Crazy Horse Paris that will see the Crazy Horse
Paris cabaret open in December 2005 in the heart of Singapore¡¯s 24-hour
entertainment precinct, Clarke Quay. |
|
Eng Wah Managing Director Ms Goh Min Yen
said the agreement was a major win for Singapore: ¡°A number of Asian
cities were competing for the rights to open a Crazy Horse Paris cabaret
but Singapore was the winner. |
|
¡°Crazy Horse Paris has been a fixture of
Paris nightlife for more than 50 years and we believe the cabaret will
bring a sophisticated and exciting new entertainment option to
Singapore. |
|
¡°Crazy Horse Paris is one of those rare
entertainment choices that would stand out in any city, no matter what
other attractions there may be. In Singapore, it will be the highlight
of many a visit, an unforgettable experience that will draw tourists and
other visitors by bringing a world class brand name to our entertainment
scene. It will also give visitors to Singapore more night time
entertainment options and we hope this encourages them to extend their
stay.¡± |
|
Crazy Horse Paris opened in Paris in 1951.
Its founder, Alain Bernardin, was heavily influenced by the emerging
modern art scene in Paris and New York and conceived a show that
celebrated ¡°l¡¯art du nu¡±. This artistic tradition has been maintained in
the management of the business today. |
|
¡°Eng Wah will develop and manage the venue
and promote the Crazy Horse Paris cabaret but creative control of the
show will remain with its Paris-based management who will also recruit
and train the dancers. In this way, we remain pure to the artistic
reputation of the brand which has been built progressively over 50
years.¡± |
|
Ms Goh said that Crazy Horse Paris cabaret
is a premium entertainment offering aimed at sophisticated audiences
over 21. The cabaret will be custom-designed for the 15,000 square feet
building at Clarke Quay's Block B. The cabaret will include seating for
around 400 guests, as well as a chic bistro and bar where patrons can
enjoy dinner either before or after the show. |
|
Crazy Horse Paris is one of the French
capital¡¯s most popular tourist destinations and its cool, artistic
atmosphere has attracted as many female visitors as male. The same
visitor profile is expected for the new cabaret in Singapore. |
|
The Crazy Horse Paris venture is an
important growth opportunity, particularly given Singapore¡¯s aim to
double current visitor numbers to 17 million by 2015 and triple tourism
spending to $30 billion over the same time. |
