The performance in Badrutt’s Palace Hotel marks the first Le Crazy Show to date in the eastern part of Switzerland and the Parisian troupe will take to the stage exclusively in St. Moritz as part of their Forever Crazy World Tour.

The founder of the Crazy Horse cabaret, Alain Bernardin, was fascinated by American show girls and women in general. He was driven by a single idea – to make feminine beauty and artistic creation his focus. Over the years he developed his own particular style. This includes the tradition upheld to this day that each dancer is christened with her own unique stage name before her first Le Crazy performance. So the troupe is made up of names such as Shiny Shadow, Loa Vahina and Lila Magnetic. 60 years after the successful cabaret show began, Le Crazy is always reinventing itself and celebrating femininity in all its forms.

Forever Crazy consists of a selection of the legendary cabaret’s best tableaux: certain acts such as »Peek-a-Boo« or »Leçon d’Erotisme« are part of Alain Bernardin’s classic repertoire while others like »Upside Down« and «Scanner« are new creations by the French star choreographer Philippe Decouflé. Forever Crazy is the result of a collaboration of several highly acclaimed conceptors under the vision and guidance of Andrée Deissenberg. The artistic direction of the show was confined to the Québécois Dick Walsh and the music was produced by Mirwais, among others, who has also produced two albums for Madonna.

Crazy Horse Paris has been hailed in the international press as »an unbelievable dream« (El Mundo), »visual pleasure« (El Pais) und »a feast for the senses« (De Morgen). Numerous celebrities are self-confessed fans of the Crazy Show, such as Naomi Watts (»What a beautiful show!«), Michelle Pfeiffer (»We all loved the show!«), Steven Spielberg (»Magique!«), Boris Becker (»What a great vibe«) and Jean-Paul Gaultier (»I am crazy about Le Crazy, always and more than ever…«).
