chicago is literally my fave musical ever!! can you even imagine it in the casino de paris tho?? 
the opulence of the venue is gonna be EVERYTHING!! and those dance numbers? 
i'm already imagining myself singing along to "all that jazz" and "nowadays"... this is going to be a whole new level of amazing!!! 
. I mean, who wouldn’t want to see a Broadway musical in one of the most iconic venues in Europe? The history of the Casino de Paris just adds to the magic of the whole thing. And can you imagine seeing those stunning dance numbers under the spotlights on the Champs-Élysées? It’s going to be a real spectacle! I’m also loving the idea that they’re bringing back all the classic songs - who needs original music when you have legends like "All That Jazz" and "Cell Block Tango"? 
can't wait for the premier!
The Casino de Paris is like, the ultimate place for a musical like this - it's got history, style and drama all rolled in one 
. I can already imagine the energy of the crowd when they're dancing along to "All That Jazz" 
. Can't wait to see the show and feel like I'm right in the midst of it all, even if I'm just watching from my laptop 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned musical with some serious sass and jazz vibes? The Casino de Paris always looks like the perfect spot for something classy and high-energy, and I can only imagine how stunning it'll look with all those bright lights and giant screens 
i can already imagine the crowd goin wild during those iconic dance numbers 
and those dance numbers though... who else can rock a skirt and suspenders like rex and velma? 
i mean what's next? they're gonna open a replica of Times Square in some random european city... 
and don't even get me started on the whole 'exporting american culture' thing... like, can't these shows just stay where they were born for once? 
The Casino de Paris is literally the perfect venue for it - it's like they're meant to be together. And can we talk about the costumes and sets? They must be going all out to recreate that iconic Broadway look on the Champs-Élysées. I'm imagining it now, sipping a coffee at a sidewalk café while watching the performers bring the house down... sounds like a dream come true! 
. I mean, think about it, we're already dealing with the Eurozone crisis, what's next? Are they going to start importing American musicals left and right? It's like, don't get me wrong, I love Kander and Ebb as much as the next person, but this feels like a slippery slope. What's stopping them from bringing in all sorts of Broadway shows and flooding the French market with overpriced tickets? 
And what about the cultural exchange? Are they just going to start copying American style and losing their own unique identity? France has such a rich history and culture, shouldn't we be preserving that rather than importing it from across the pond?
