📍 Can Can Culinary Cabaret: 95 Pine St, Seattle
When I go to the Can Can Culinary Cabaret inside Pike Place Market, I always bring a friend who has never been (the uninitiated). We enter the venue through the brand-new bistro and bar, which immediately makes us feel like we stepped into a world of romance and decadence (I’m a sucker for the red velvet booths). Seeing my friend’s look of awe and excitement when we enter the gorgeous Parisian-styled theater with gold trim, red velvet, and double catwalks is *a chef’s kiss* 🤌✨
My friend and I watched the newest rendition of Can Can’s burlesque show “The Hitchcock Hotel,” where the supernatural meets old-school Hollywood. Think the Munsters crossed with The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but hornier. I’m always impressed by Can Can’s gorgeous costumes, which I learned are created in-house by designer, producer, and dancer Shadou Mintrone (who’s been with the company for nine years). The stand-out performances for the Hitchcock Hotel were singer, dancer, and actor Miranda Antoinette, making her Can Can mainstage debut. Her powerful solo as Madame Maybell gave me shivers—and artist Nicholas Bernarda, as Frankly MyDear, gave deadpan one-liners that had the audience in stitches.
Spooky season is in full swing at the Can Can, with two full productions running this fall. You can catch “The Hitchcock Hotel” at the aforementioned new gorgeous location in Pike Place Market. Or head to the Triple Door to see the annual fall favorite, “This is Halloween.” This show features a full orchestra and options for either 21+, All Ages (the Sunday 5 pm show), or PG-13 (early evening) performances.
A Local’s Guide to Pike Place Market After Dark 🌝
Daytimes are what Pike Place Market is known for. But in the evening, a whole other market comes alive, one with drinks, dancing, and general revelry.
