This December, long-time Seattle entertainment destination Can Can is taking its hit holiday spectacle Wonderland on the road for a three-night stint at downtown Portland's Star Theater.

At the heart of Can Can is its core creative team whose unique vision offers up inspired projected scenic design, a modern take on classic choreography, a variety of musical stylings, a number of costuming changes, and more to create their productions. The Stranger remarks that "The Can Can is a unique phenomenon in Seattle, and maybe in the country" and also describe it as "a place where sex and the appreciation of the human body are not taboo-rather, they're celebrated with a smile and a shimmy." Can Can brings this same sensibility to Portland in its inaugural Portland production.

"Wonderland is a truly entrancing spectacular," Can Can Artistic Director Chris Pink comments. "Audiences enjoy ever-changing projected visuals and a choice wintery soundtrack - one that we labored over for hours to perfect! It highlights not only pop culture favorites like "Baby It's Cold Outside" and "Keep It Gay" from the Broadway musical The Producers, but also popular Seattle indie artist, Prom Queen, and more.Wonderland is an original dance show built from the ground up that celebrates the season."

The Can Can Company of dancers for the Portland-based performances of Wonderland feature emcee Caela Bailey (Can Can: Wonderland, Zombie Cheerleaders From Hell); Keon Price (Can Can: Ice Cream; French Kiss; Flamingo), Lindy Lou Smith (Can Can: This Is Halloween; Magnificent Matinees), Alissa Pegram (Can Can: Zombie Cheerleaders From Hell; French Kiss; Magnificent Matinees), and Brenda Brown (Heavenly Spies; Can Can: Flamingo; Wonerland).
