Can Can's Wintery WONDERLAND Opens Next Week

This winter, Can Can will deck its halls in white, swing from the chandeliers, and fill its dinner and brunch menus with seasonal delights and libations in its annual holiday spectacular, Wonderland, an original cabaret production featuring the Can Can company of dancers. Performed underneath the world-famous Pike Place Market, Can Can's Wonderland celebrates dance, theatre, and music while offering up a market fresh menu all served in an intimate venue setting, evocative of Paris at the turn of the 20th Century. Tickets are on sale now for evening (17+) and late night (21+) performances of Wonderland, as well as for the weekend matinee shows (all ages - kids welcome) that feature a fresh cast, choreography, and all new brunch-focused menu - TheCanCan.com.

At the heart of Can Can is its core creative team whose transformation of the unique venue with each new show features ever-changing scenic design, choreography, music, costuming, and more several times a year. But it's this time of year that is ever-so special for Can Can. "For me personally, this show always feels like coming home to a cozy fire with a warm apple pie in the oven... but with a stage and real life sugar plum fairies," Can Can artistic director Chris Pink comments. "With Wonderland we really give in to the season - the dancers perform to The Pete King Orchestra and local band Prom Queen, but also throwback showtunes that emanate togetherness and that holiday feeling -- plus the kitchen is churning out these incredible seasonal dishes. We love to celebrate and play at Can Can, and Wonderland allows all of us to do just that, and during a time of year that's just ripe for celebrating!"
