| Casino De Paris | Paris plays host to SRO and brings us its legendary, world famous floor show—Casino de Paris.. This show has a history as colorful and rich as Paris itself. Its tradition of elegant spectacle dates back to the 1980's where the art of striptease and naughtiness established a gentre of entertainment. A milestone and one of the most famous such acts was done by Angele Herard whose pretext for disrobing was a simple one—an itch!. The itch presumably caused by a flea led her to a careful hunt which included much movement and an artful shedding of her undergarments. This art led to everything from sauce postcards to the early silent films for gentlemen only.. The Casino tradition is synonymous with the Star tradition. From famous dress designers to the giants of the stage—Piaf, Chevalier and now the famous Line Renaud, who's returned to the show after headlining in Las Vegas for several years, SRO invites you on this verité look at Paris—from the backstage preparation of the glittering, topless showgirls to the grandest and oldest floor show in the world—the Casino de Paris! |
