Audience Reviews for Can-Can

Flashy and empty with a few good songs but the lead character is a fool and most of the supporting men contemptible worms who treat her appallingly.

Super Reviewer

An Adorable Musical about the Scandalous & Illegal Dance of 1896 that showed Women's Petticoats while doing Leg Kicks & the Splits.The Judge Louis Jourdan)comes to witness for Himself if it is Immoral, & falls in Love with Her (Shirley MacLaine), which puts a Monkey Wrench Into Things for her Non-Committal Boyfriend.Oh My, I wouldn't mind having such Men fighting over me ! For the Record, I'd choose Louis Jourdan, hands Down.
