Set in Paris in 1893, it's the story of Pistache, a café owner who decides to feature the then-scandalous and illicit dance, the Can-Can, on the stage of her establishment. Meanwhile, Aristide Forestier, a young, newly-appointed and over-zealous magistrate, decides to undertake a reform movement and sets his sights to clean up Paris, starting with a prohibition of the titillating dance. Will Pistache's defiance of the law end her business-and her love life? Featuring the hit Cole Porter songs "I Love Paris," "C'est Magnifique" and "It's All Right with Me," Can-Can is a romantic, dancing, musical classic.
