Goodbye Crazy Horse :(


Bye Crazy Horse

I managed to catch one of the last performances at Crazy Horse last Friday night. The 400 seat-theatre was more than 70% filled, and i suspect that the rather huge turn-out was due to the fact that people were rushing to catch it before it officially closed on Sunday night.

After leaving the venue at Clarke Quay, i thought to myself why this concept of a cabaret did not take off in Singapore.Were people still not open to this idea? Personally, i enjoyed myself throughout the entire performance. The decor inside was plush and luxurious, with velvety deep-red and gold being the main color theme. The girls danced really well, the lighting was good and i found the whole show really artistic. Or was the price holding people back? Some complained that the price of the tickets were a lil too expensive, with VIP tickets going at $185 (inclusive of a std. drink) for a show that lasted only around...less than 1.5 hours. Whatever the case, i think that its a real pity that the Crazy Horse cabaret had to close down after making its debut in Singapore slightly more than a year ago. Hopefully, if a similar business concept comes to town again, we'll be much more open and receptive of the idea :)
