Crazy Horse Revisited

Unless you are a worshipper of topless dancing, The Crazy Horse caberet show will soon become a passè, I think, despite so much hype being built around it.

Caught the show early this month, complimentary of a friend. And I would not say I'd thoroughly enjoyed the show. There are a couple of dances which really utilize the use of dance moves and lights to portray an artistic image, or rather, a 3D wallpaper. Quite tastefully, in fact.

The beautiful caberet girls really look and dress the same, all towering at 1.75m (or taller) height, differentiating by their own bouncy assets. All moves are choreographed to ooze sensulity and sexiness. Nothing sleazy or distasteful. Colourful lightings are cleverly used to ensue dazzling sights on the girls' curvaceous body. You will be mesmerized by these lights rather than the nearly-nude girls.

Sad to say, there were only a lingering number of audience although the showroom is pretty compact. We were seated pretty near the stage, in fact, it is just right under our nose. So I would say the view is pretty fascinating :P. Due to the the few number of us, the staff/ushers had to be roped in to create the hippy mood, with all the wolf whistling and "oohs" and "ahs" and "wahs". We're so 'unmoved', unlike some of the Caucasian audience. They're more appreciative of such performances and they really gave compliments by cheering the caberet girls on.

If you ask me whether it is worth going for the show, I can only tell you, no harm watching it once. The novelty will wear off, sooner or later, coz I think it is not in our culture to appreciate such performance on a long run. Frankly, the show is nothing erotic, nor it is sleazy. You will appreciate the beauty of human anatomy, and appreciate the art weaves between dance and lights.

Who knows you may come out of the show, converted, as a connoisseur of topless dancing :).
