Crazy Horse Paris: booking a night at the cabaret in 2027
At 12 Avenue George V, a short walk from the Champs-Élysées, the Crazy Horse has been perfecting a very particular art since 1951: short tableaux, choreographed to the millimetre, in which light sculpts the dancers’ bodies. It is neither a feathered revue nor a giant dinner show, but an intimate room where everything depends on rhythm and image. Here is what you need to know to choose your showtime, your package and your date.
The story of the Crazy Horse, the Avenue George V cabaret
Alain Bernardin founded the venue on 19 May 1951, with décor inspired by the saloons of the American West. A lover of the visual arts, he established an aesthetic in which lighting matters as much as the dancing itself. After his death in 1994, his children ran the house until 2006, when the group led by the Belgian businessman Philippe Lhomme took over.
Guest creators at the Crazy Horse
The cabaret has often opened its doors to outside perspectives. In 2009 the show “Désirs” was staged by Philippe Decouflé with Ali Mahdavi. Christian Louboutin designed tableaux in 2012, and lingerie and fashion designers have created costumes and accessories over the years.
Stars on the Crazy Horse stage
Dita Von Teese has performed there several times, Beyoncé shot the video for “Partition” on its stage, and Lisa of BLACKPINK appeared among the guest performers. These collaborations have earned the venue an international reputation that reaches well beyond Paris.
Totally Crazy: the current Crazy Horse show
The revue now running, “Totally Crazy!”, celebrates more than 75 years of in-house creations. Over 90 minutes, the company moves through numbers that have become iconic alongside more recent tableaux, in staging that plays on humour and a cheeky sense of fun.
Signature Crazy Horse tableaux
Among the numbers performed are “Good Girl”, “Voodoo”, “Upside Down”, “Scanner”, “Baby Buns” and “Vertiges”. Each tableau lasts just a few minutes and rests on one strong visual idea: projections, mirror effects or sharply cut beams of light.
Crazy Horse dancers and guest performers
The dancers perform under stage names, a tradition of the house. Midway through the show, guest acts, whether magicians, acrobats or dancers, take the stage, continuing a habit inherited from the founder. The line-up of guests may change from one period to the next.
Crazy Horse packages and official prices
The cabaret offers several levels of seating and service, with or without drinks. The amounts below are public “from” prices, given as a guide and checked in October 2026; they vary by date and showtime.
| Package | What it includes | From (indicative) |
|---|---|---|
| Show only | Seat without a drink | €119 |
| Show with champagne | Seat and a glass of champagne | €139 |
| Premium seating | Champagne and macarons | €195 |
| Show and dinner | Dinner at a nearby partner restaurant, no drink during the show | €185 |
Crazy Horse with or without drinks
The champagne package is the most popular choice for a first visit: it adds little to the base price and suits the hushed, velvety atmosphere of the room. Dinner, meanwhile, takes place before or after the show at a partner restaurant close by, never during the performance.
New Year’s Eve at the Crazy Horse
Special performances are held on the evening of 31 December, at noticeably higher prices, and they are often booked a long time in advance.
Crazy Horse showtimes
From Sunday to Friday, the curtain goes up at 8pm and 10.30pm. On Saturdays, and on some Fridays, there are three performances in a row: 7pm, 9.30pm and a late show at around midnight. Check the exact time on your confirmation.
Arriving on time at the Crazy Horse
The venue advises arriving 30 to 45 minutes before the show, which always starts precisely on time. Music sets the mood as guests are welcomed before the curtain rises, and the maître d’hôtel allocates seats within the category you have booked.
Which Crazy Horse showtime to choose
- 8pm or 7pm: ideal before a late dinner.
- 10.30pm or 9.30pm: to dine first and then carry on the evening.
- The Saturday midnight show: a more festive atmosphere, for night owls.
Minimum age, dress code and house rules at the Crazy Horse
The show is open to anyone aged 16 and over, and under-18s must be accompanied by a parent. The content belongs to the art of the nude, handled in an aesthetic and choreographic way.
What to wear to the Crazy Horse
Smart or elegant dress is appreciated. Sportswear, flip-flops and shorts are not suitable. A dinner jacket is not required, but the house invites guests to enter into the spirit of a dressed-up night out.
Photos and phones at the Crazy Horse
Taking photos or filming during the performance is forbidden, to protect the artists and keep the tableaux a surprise. A boutique, open in the evening, does however let you take home a souvenir.
Accessibility at the Crazy Horse
The cabaret welcomes guests with reduced mobility. It is best to contact customer service in advance so that your seating can be arranged as smoothly as possible.
Getting to the Crazy Horse: metro, RER, bus and parking
The cabaret is at 12 Avenue George V, in the 8th arrondissement, between the Place de l’Alma and the Champs-Élysées.

By car or taxi to the Crazy Horse
The “Alma George V” car park is at number 10 on the same avenue, right next door. Taxis run through the neighbourhood all night, which is convenient after the last performance.
Before or after the Crazy Horse: the Alma neighbourhood
The Golden Triangle, between the Avenue George V, the Avenue Montaigne and the Champs-Élysées, is packed with couture houses, luxury hotels and restaurants. Cross the Pont de l’Alma and you reach the Left Bank and the Eiffel Tower, lit up after dark.
Planning an evening around the Crazy Horse
An early-evening Seine river cruise, leaving from the nearby embankments, fits naturally with the 10.30pm show. The Arc de Triomphe, at the top of the Champs-Élysées, offers a view over Paris before the performance. Fans of old Paris can spend the day in Montmartre and at the Sacré-Cœur before heading back west for the evening.
