Events Around Seattle

Recently I was able to experience the Matinee Cabaret at the Can Can. This show combined local history with a cabaret show that was both charming and fun.

The host charmed us with his witty style as he took us through some of Seattle’s most infamous historical events. He told us stories like how our town was destroyed by a fire and how a local Madame ruled the underground world. Each story was followed by a captivating performance.

Every show was unique in style and choreography, giving us high-kicks and spins. The choreography was glamorous and the costumes were darling. It made you feel you were right there in Seattle many decades earlier.

There wasn’t just dancing but some singing as well. This multi-talented cast will wow you with their creativity with an original show. Don’t miss out.  For tickets, click here.
