We saw the Tuesday 9pm show at the Lido in late October. We got the tickets with the bottle of champagne but no dinner. The show is very entertaining - the women's costumes are gorgeous - I especially loved the ones that had different flowers for each headdress. There are many changes of costumes so the musical numbers are varied... more

Little mistakes, out of sync dancing, should not happen for a renowned, (expensive) and seemingly professionaly company. The show seemed more fitting for a cruise ship or a casino and the music was dated. The performers were talented and a nice break from the dancing scenes which lacked cohesion and were at times out of place. The breasts were there,... more

We went to this show becasue all shows in Paris seem to have only so-so reviews and this one offered 50% off. It was ok, we had a table all to ourselves for 3 people, so we cannot complain about our seating, it was good, others were not so lucky and I saw couples sharing with other people. The dancing... more

The Lido is something you must have seen, so we made reservations for a "soirée plaisir" in a nice setting, with dancers with long legs, who danced synchrone in nice costumes. We were very disappointed though: During diner couples had to share a table with other couples, so no romantic tête à tête and we still cannot understand why there... more

My husband and I did the champagne and 9:30 show last week. We are currently on work assignment in Paris and after running a 6.5K race sponsored by the Lido I received a buy one get one free ticket. When we called to confirm the price and time we were told to arrive one hour prior to the show. In... more

Not sure why so many negative reviews, me and my new wife (on our Honeymoon) really enjoyed it. The costumes and sets are spectacular, the ice skating, mime and Acrobat were all superb and the dancers were all in sync with each other (maybe they've been practising after reading some of the other reviews!). Not normally my cup of tea,... more

Don't go.

Fails to excite. The show looks like it hasn't been upgraded since the early '80s. The performance looks messy, mainly due to lack of attention to synchronicity. Only two scenes were good enough - the ice skating and the rope acrobatics. If you're not willing to pay 55 euros (minimum) for a 10 (maximum) enjoyable minutes - don't go. more

I think I can understand the bad reviews for those that pay full price. But I kept my expectations reasonably low based on these reviews, and found discounted tickets for the show while in Paris. In the end, we thought the show was great! We paid 48 Euros per person, which included 1 bottle of wine (or champagne) for two... more

My wife and I arrived for the "champagne and show" option. The reception was very professional, we were shown to our table that had a good view of the stage. The staging was quite impressive, especially the two figure skaters who managed to perform on a small patch of ice, but overall the quality of the show was spotty. Some... more
