Crazy Horse Paris, the cabaret house that has defined French theatrical performance since 1951, is opening its first permanent production outside the French capital in Dubai. The show begins performances on November 12, 2026, at the Zabeel Theatre inside Jumeirah Zabeel Saray on Palm Jumeirah.
The Dubai venue seats 200 guests and will feature a cast of 18 international dancers who trained for six months in Paris to master the company's signature choreography and lighting style. Andrée Deissenberg, Crazy Horse's chief creative and brand officer, and Philippe Lhomme, its president and chief executive, confirmed the expansion, which is being operated locally by Dubai-based hospitality group 111 Management.
Each night, the production runs in two formats: a 90-minute show starting at 7pm, and a three-hour dinner-and-performance package beginning at 9.30pm. A private option for groups of up to 14 guests is also available for those seeking a more exclusive setting.
Tickets start at Dh400, and entry is restricted to guests aged 21 and above. The original Crazy Horse cabaret, known for past collaborations with artists including Beyoncé, has built its reputation in Paris since the early 1950s without ever licensing a permanent production abroad until now.
The arrival adds to a growing roster of major international entertainment brands setting up permanent bases in Dubai, reinforcing the city's push to position itself as a global hub for live performance and nightlife entertainment alongside its retail and hospitality offerings.
