The Paris Theatre (6 SW 3rd Ave. Portland, OR 97204), erected in 1890, has long been known as Portland’s most notorious stage for scandal and spectacle. The venue has been carefully renovated by the artistic team behind Can Can, who for twenty years, has redefined nightlife in the Pacific Northwest. Now, Can Can is bringing its enduring legacy to Portland.

Can Can’s Ooh La La! invites Portland under the petticoats for a limited-run celebration of Parisian fantasy (only on til March 21st!).
