French shows have been part of the Las Vegas entertainment scene from the beginning. “Lido de Paris,” “Folies Bergere” and “La Femme” all came and went on the Strip. But the French-inspired burlesque show “Crazy Girls” was part of the Riviera scene for 28 years.
On Friday’s closing night of its Riviera run, some of the dancers shared memories — and malfunctions.
Michelle Davis recalled the time when she was doing a dance solo when her hair extensions started falling out. She tried to hide it by scooping the extensions up and hiding them behind the chair. But she forgot that it was on a rotating stage.
Dance captain Danielle Kozel remembers the time her G-string broke while doing a dance number on a bed. “I just said ‘do whatever you want.’ It keeps it interesting and funny,” she said.
The G-strings and dancing will be back as the revue heads to Planet Hollywood for a scheduled opening on May 20.
