Welcome to la Nouvelle Eve,
the elegant music-hall cabaret in Montmartre,
Come and discover The Century Show featuring the celebrated French Cancan and a variety of original and comic attractions. Enjoy dinner while watching the revue in an exquisite Belle Epoque venue. The Century Show A revue at the Nouvelle Eve borders between "music-hall" and "cabaret."
It's a clever mixture of feathers and conviviality. This lively show will enable you to participate, with humor and boldness. The Parisian cabaret concept is very evident. You'll marvel at the enchantment of feathers and the splendor of “The Woman.” For the Century Show, Lianne Scrivener, has used her dynamic choreography to successfully merge the typical Parisian review with new artistic techniques.
Essentially, the review is a puzzle, a kaleidoscope of influences, eras, and cultural images. Through six different scenes you will discover a range of styles. From the disco music of "Cupid" to the baroque of "Fire," and the spectacular scene of the elastics, an allusion to modern day Pigalle. The Parisian spirit of the review is evident.
 The Century Show is also a tribute to the capital's rich artistic history through the music of a legendary figure of Parisian mythology from the Pigalle area: Edith Piaf. The legend of "la Môme Piaf " is that of an extraordinary woman and an exceptional singer. Her songs are among the most important of twentieth century French inheritance. Describing with accuracy and emotion the life of the small Parisian districts and the people of modest means who tried to survive in it, her songs are more than simple prose, they are simply timeless. They continue to convey a flood of images and feelings, such as her famous song "la Vie en Rose," her first post-war success and one of the most popular songs of all times, that Nicolas Skorsky updated for this review as a tango.
Finally, the highlight of this show is the renowned French Cancan. This quadrille dance is inherited from Celestial Mogador, Rose pompom, and Nini Patte en l’air and it is mostly inspired by dances of the Sunday Montmartre laundresses at the beginning of the century. This 12 minute scene will take your breath away! Performed to the music of Offenbach, the art of Cancan is doing the splits, showing breeches, and raising laces and frous frous!

In the latter part of 1949, under the management of René Bardy, -and now called by its current name la Nouvelle Eve- the establishment was redecorated by the architect Maurice Graidaine. The Belle Époque (beautiful era) style was chosen by the famous interior designer Rigal. The Belle Époque was a period in France’s history that began during the late 19th century and lasted until World War I.
Occurring at the midpoint of the Third Republic, the Belle Époque was considered a golden time of beauty, innovation, and peace between France and its European neighbors. New inventions made life easier at all social levels, the cultural scene thrived, cabaret, cancan, and the cinema were born, and art took new forms with Impressionism and Art Nouveau.
The sumptuous setting, the starlit ceiling, the fluorescent and multicolored stage and its Corinthian style pediment, gave a unique character to this theatre.
