Overview
In 1893 Paris, La Môme Pistache, the proud owner of a Montmartre dance hall, battles with Aristide Forestiere, a self-righteous judge determined to close all establishments featuring the scandalous can-can. Eventually, the two fall in love, and the judge concedes that “obscenity is in the eye of the beholder.”
Cole Porter’s celebrated score features the famous “Garden of Eden Ballet”, along with several entrancing Porter standards, including “C’est Magnifique”, “I Love Paris”, “It’s All Right with Me” and the title number.
