WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Can-Can is a romantic musical comedy that takes place in turn-of-the-century Paris, where la Mome Pistache, proud owner of the Bal du Paradis, famous for its sexy can-can girls, spars with Aristide Forestier, a self-righteous judge determined to close all Parisian dance halls. The Cole Porter score includes the hits "I Love Paris," "It's All Right With Me," "C'est Magnifique," "I Am In Love," and "Allez-Vous En, Go Away,"
