Today, the mythical Parisian cabaret is once again creating a surprise by inviting Violet Chachki, the most glamorous of alldrag queens, to perform on its iconic stage for 10 exclusive shows from June 24 to 28, 2024.
After the queen of burlesque Dita Von Teese, the bionic showgirl Viktoria Modesta, the K-Pop icon Lisa of Blackpink, it is the turn of Violet Chachki, a legendary figure of the drag community, to slip amongst the famous Crazy Girls, for a series of exceptional shows.
Violet Chachki is a versatile artist and performer from the southern United States. Famous for winning the seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race, she was propelled to the rank of superstar of the international drag scene. Renowned for her confidence, impeccable fashion sense and acrobatic and dancing skills, Violet Chachki will be the very first male bodied showgirl to perform the most iconic acts of the show "Totally Crazy", such as Attitude, Lay Laser Lay, Scanner or You Turn Me On, inevitably adding her personal and unique touch.
"Performing on the Crazy Horse Paris stage is a dream come true. By stepping into the shoes of a Crazy Girl, I want to celebrate the essence of the divine feminine and pay homage in my own way to this place and to these incredible dancers, who have deeply inspired me since I first I attended a Crazy show nine years ago" explains Violet Chachki.
With this new project, the innovative creative direction of Crazy Horse Paris, which since 2006 has restored the Parisian cabaret to its former glory, defies conventions and blurs the boundaries between genres, demonstrating that performance, elegance, and art have no limits. By welcoming Violet Chachki to its prestigious stage, the cabaret celebrates unity in diversity.
"Ever since I first met Violet Chachki in 2015, I knew I was going to invite her to be a Guest Star. I am proud that today this project is finally coming to fruition. The performances of Violet Chachki, a symbol of another type of femininity, will amplify the free expression of sensuality and femininity, which we stage every day at Crazy Horse Paris," adds Andrée Deissenberg, Chief Creative and Brand Officer.

Lisa, international K-Pop star and member of the iconic group Blackpink, will perform in the show "Totally Crazy" for five exclusive performances on September 28, 29 and 30.
Known for her captivating performances, Lisa, rapper, singer and dancer, fascinates generations the world over.
A long-time fan of Crazy Horse and its unique style, she will transform into a Crazy Girl and be part of the show as a "Crazy Girl" herself.
Throughout the show, Lisa will blend in with the cast of dancers to appear in group numbers and perform several solo acts, including the iconic "But I am a Good Girl" and "Crisis? What Crisis !?!".
To complete her "Crazy Girl" transformation, Lisa will wear the show's usual costumes, while adding a personal touch.
17 years ago, Dita Von Teese, followed by other inspiring female artists, was the first Guest Star, for whom specific numbers were created.
This time, the perspective is reversed, as Lisa performs original numbers from the cabaret’s repertoire alongside the cast of "Crazy Girls".
