So Close You Can Practically Can-Can with the Cast: A (Slightly Tongue-in-Cheek) Look at Moulin Rouge's Can-Can Table Seating
Let's face it, a trip to Moulin Rouge! The Musical in New York City isn't your average night at the theater. It's a full-on Parisian spectacular, a feast for the eyes (and maybe the ears, depending on your tolerance for show tunes). But if you're looking to take things up a notch, way up a notch, then you gotta consider the Can-Can Table Seating.
But Before You Dive Headfirst into the Can-Can Craze...
This ain't your grandma's orchestra seat, folks. Here's the lowdown on what you're signing yourself up for:
- Proximity That Would Make Toulouse-Lautrec Jealous: We're talking right there, practically next to the can-canning dancers. You might even be tempted to join in (though impulse high kicks are highly discouraged).
- A View Unlike Any Other (Except Maybe Being the Can-Can Dancers Themselves): Forget the panoramic splendor of the stage. Here, you'll get a front-row seat to the action, the kind of detail where you can see the mascara glistening under the stage lights.
- Intimacy? We Got Intimacy: Think dinner and a show, but replace the clinking of silverware with the sultry vocals of Satine. Just remember, keep the smooching to a minimum during the performance (unless, of course, it's part of an elaborate Moulin Rouge-themed cosplay).
Okay, I'm Sold. But Is It All Wine and Roses (or Should We Say Can-Cans and Absinthe)?
Hold your horses, there are a few things to consider:
- Restricted Views: Because you're basically sitting in the lap of luxury (well, the lap of the stage), you might not see the entire set design in all its glory. But hey, who needs a full picture when you've got close-up action?
- Runway Runaround: The Can-Can Table Seating is surrounded by runways, which is pretty darn cool. But it also means restricted movement. Basically, once the show starts, you're kinda stuck there until intermission. So, use the restroom beforehand, folks!
- Price Tag Worthy of a Parisian Diamond: Let's just say, these seats aren't for the budget-conscious theatergoer. But hey, if you're looking to splurge for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, this is it.
So, Can-Can You Handle It?
The Can-Can Table Seating is an unforgettable way to experience Moulin Rouge! It's perfect for those who crave an immersive, in-your-face theatrical adventure. Just remember, it's not for the faint of heart (or wallet). But if you're ready to can-can your way into Moulin Rouge history, then go for it! Just don't forget to pack your sense of humor and maybe some Dramamine for all the excitement (and potential nausea from being spun around by the dancers).
