The comparison at a glance

Moulin Rouge with champagne

This option is the most booked: 4.7 out of 5, about 18,000 reviews, a "Féerie" show of about 2 hours and a half-bottle of champagne. Note that it is non-refundable, seats are not assigned (first come, first served) and smart dress is requested.

Moulin Rouge dinner show

The dinner option costs about $285 to $294, and more with transport depending on the package. It is the most expensive and most complete of the options compared; it is justified for a birthday or honeymoon.

Crazy Horse

The Crazy Horse (4.6 out of 5, about 3,100 reviews) offers "Totally Crazy" at about $124 to $134. Children from 10 are admitted with an adult, but the show contains nudity. Free cancellation 24 hours before. One review mentions a poorer seat: ask what the listing guarantees.
