The Lido show
To me any tour through viator has never been regret,
especially Lido.
I thank my stars that i booked into this
wonderful show which made my evening remarkable,
Paris is a city of romance and love, to go to a
world renowned night club with the love of one’s life my wife of 34 years was a
treat
Unimaginable,
i would always preserve the moments when i was
at this club and the experience Viator offered me and i would strongly
recommend the same for any couple like us .
To start with it was a breezy cold evening and
we were told by our hotel in Montparnasse called Novotel that Lido in champs de
Elysee was just walking distance away,
i would say the receptionist has a great
walking routine which accounts for great distances for Lido was nowhere near
where he said ,as we trudged in the chilly evening the only thing that kept us
doing it infinitely was the beauty of the city and its twinkling lights of its
major roads ,but when a time came that we may miss out on the very purpose of
the evening we once again asked a friendly French gentleman who told us to
either take a cab ot jump into the metro and get there fast as waking would
take hours ,
so we did just that in minutes we took a metro
,and after two stations changed lines and traveled for around nine stations
before reaching George v metro station
Paris metro bought us to Champs Elysee road the
ultimate in fashion glamour and glitter ,on one end we could view the famous
Triumph DE arch and on both sides were the most elegant showrooms restaurants
and studios in the world ,
Lido was right across and we quickly went in to
give our Viator confirmation voucher,
we were a bit early for the show and so had
some time for some pictures for posterity and finally we went in
The show would begin at 9 pm
They opened at 8 pm sharp
Once we went in we were shown our table and a
glass of the sparkling champagne was poured
The glowing wine was really mature and sweet
Lido started in 1946 ,it was a post war
liberated and gay France which was out to become the pleasure and fashion
capital of the world and moved to the current location in 1977
It was started by joseph and Louis Clerico
brothers and in 2006 Sodexo the international food chain bought it and invested
more than 24 million euro to make the present show.
It was closed between December 2014 to April
2015 to produce the new show choreographed by by Franco Dragone
There are two shows every day and each lasts
for one and a half hours Dinner version and Drink version are both available
The famous Blue bell girls are part of the troupe,to
be a blue bell girl is a honor and they are selected form all over the world
for their height most are six foot tall ,Margaret Kelly organised the blue bell
girls and was called as Miss blue bell herself their the dresses and costumes
the feathers the rhinestones are all costly and made with taste
There are special effects lighting moving stage
and audience areas rain lightening rainbows and its a mix of exotica and a
visual delight and a medley of songs and trained dancers to do their bit
There was a Finnish sword swallower
An acrobatic couple did their bit
And a lead opera singer who sang so well in her
high pitched sopranos
There were lovely sets with water, fountains
etc which changed so quickly and magically
The dancers were all trained ballet artistes
There were hip hop dancers pantomiming artistes
etc
The dresses were glamorous colorful many tall
fashionable ladies were bare chested but never appeared vulgar
It was highly artistic entertaining and the
service was exemplary
I would recommend anyone visiting Paris to
visit Lido show .
