Voulez-Vous Revue Closing Night – A Review
If I could use five letters and a punctuation mark to describe Triangle d’Or Cabaret‘s Voulez-Vous Revue, it would be the following: hot AF!
The show is the latest production from this groundbreaking cabaret, and it’s seriously the best one yet. I was entranced, awe-struck, and enthralled from beginning to end. As Canada’s first and only Parisian-style cabaret club, Triangle d’Or Cabaret transport you from the snowy streets of Toronto to the glamorous cabaret clubs found in the City of Lights with brief stops in Versailles and even the underworld. Inspired by Le Crazy Horse Paris Cabaret, guests are in for 90 minutes of fabulous entertainment featuring sultry choreography, VIP service with champagne delivered directly to your table, evocative lighting, and a cast of sensationally talented performers.
Highlights from the Voulez-Vous Revue on Saturday, December 6, 2025, are now available. Tickets are on sale with VIP packages offering an exclusive experience. Early purchase is recommended to secure a memorable night of Parisian magic in Toronto.
Inside the Redwood Theatre
The venue for this production was the historic Redwood Theatre. Built in 1914, the Redwood Theatre was originally built as a vaudeville theatre. Over the decades, it became a department store and a movie theatre, and eventually the site of the now-defunct Zero Gravity Circus. Now it’s the premier destination for cabarets and aerial silks classes. The theatre is accessible easily by public transit with nearby parking available, making it convenient for all guests to attend and enjoy the show. With its rich and storied history, the Redwood Theatre was an excellent venue choice for Triangle d’Or‘s latest production.
The seating inside the theatre was set up like a cabaret club, complete with table seating and plush lounge chairs. There was more than enough room to move among the tables, and every seat offered clear, unobstructed views of the stage and the red aerial silks hanging from the ceiling. I was seated in the VIP section at the back of the room, directly across from the stage. The acoustics could not be faulted, offering me a front-row perspective that helped me truly grasp how the lighting—the one element that is perhaps the strongest visual element of the show—is used to intensify the choreography. Both acts of the show were choreographed through lighting and colour.
Lighting the way:
Before the show started, the dimly lit room was throbbed with a warm, red glow and the muffled melodies of French jazz music—each a seductive preview of the excitement that was sure to pour onto the stage once the show started.
Enjoy with Your Eyes Only
When viewing any of Triangle d’Or Cabaret‘s production, the most important rule to remember is this: respecting performance boundaries helps everyone feel comfortable and safe, fostering a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere for all.
No photography, no cameras, and no touching of the performers.
Moments before the start of the show, a female voiceover with a very elegant French accent will playfully encourage audiences to “touch with your eyes” and not with their hands upon seeing the performers. The announcement served as a necessary reminder to the audience that we can all have a great time while respecting privacy and boundaries.
And Now…Showtime!
Every show at Triangle d’Or Cabaret is a sequence of themed performances modelled on the twenty Parisian arrondissements and the majesty of Versailles. While these performances mix dance and seductive storytelling, cabaret singers will interject between acts to present captivating performances, not to mention enticing audiences to play along. Rich and sexy costumes, evocative lighting, and a carefully curated musical selection heighten the atmosphere, creating a seamless progression from one alluring act to the next. Triangle d’Or Cabaret‘s productions celebrate the sensuality and physicality of the human body, the glamour of burlesque, and theatrical artistry, offering audiences an immersive escape into the world of modern cabaret with a distinctly Parisian charm.
As the 90-minute show unfolded, the performers—each with their own magnetic presence—delivered a series of standout acts that reminded me exactly why I return to Triangle d’Or again and again. “Midnight Jewel of Pigalle (18E),” the opening act, performed to Deee-Lite’s “Groove Is in the Heart,” was an upbeat, energetic number that immediately got the crowd going and set the tone for a memorable, show-stopping performance. Glory Box was the name of the next act, performed by Haley Shannon, a Russian professional aerialist whose spins and twirls were simply breathtaking. The way her bodysuit sparkled under the cool blue lighting made her performance all the more captivating. The emcee, Jaz Fairy J, was a gorgeous, groovy vibe as she got everyone swaying in their seats and snapping their fingers along to her sultry covers of “Fever” by Michael Bublé and “La Vie En Rose” (Grace Jones’ version).
Favourite Acts
The Voulez-Vous Revue introduced a lineup of new acts featuring ten new professional dancers. Among the standout numbers was Paname (75)—a popular slang term for Paris. This striking piece featured Athena Blaze and Gemma Manhattan in a sensual yet elegant ballet duet, performed in identical red-and-black lingerie. Perfectly mirrored in costume, choreography, and hairstyle, their performance felt both intimate and precise—an act so distinct it would be unlikely to appear in traditional Parisian cabaret.
Barbie brought a flirty, effervescent energy to her solo, Zoubisou (2E), instantly charming the audience. Earlier, Gemma Manhattan, Misty Lafleur, Barbie, Scarlett Reign, and Ember Simone delivered one of the night’s most exhilarating moments with This Is French (18E). The high-energy number immediately transported me back to the summer of 2017, when I attended a show at the Moulin Rouge in Montmartre—the oldest cabaret club in Paris. Seeing the dancers perform perfectly with tage-shaking splits, high kicks, and laughing shrieks in their red-and-black fringe costumes was like being back in this memory from before. Their joy was infectious—before I knew it, I found myself shrieking with them in delight, a definite blast from the past.
René Hyacinth’s solo, Ivresse De Toi (4E), was one of the most electrifying performances in Triangle d’Or Cabaret‘s history. She embodied the role of a nightclub singer, strutting onto the stage in a sheer red kimono, green detailing, before gradually revealing a red-and-nude mesh bodysuit with a heart-shaped cutout at the back. One of the most striking moments came when she reclined on the stage, allowing the cool blue and white lighting behind her to sculpt and accentuate every curve. I overheard an audience member remark that she had “more curves than a California highway,”and by the end of the number, I was completely in awe (and lowkey enamoured) by her magnetic stage presence, unshakable confidence, and fiery, commanding movement.
My personal favourite act of the night was Gentleman Gambit (10E). When Sienna Beaudelaire, Ember Simone, and Scarlette Reign appeared on stage in their black vests and top hats, carrying their chairs, my thoughts went to the iconic “Mein Herr” number from the Cabaret movie. Set to Michael Jackson’s song, “A Place with No Name,” the trio delivered sharp, Bob Fosse–inspired choreography marked by statuesque poses, razor-tight timing, and dramatic leg extensions. As a lifelong fan of the musical and film Cabaret, this number brought me pure joy; it remains one of my favourite dance sequences in cinematic history. The performance was hip, cool, unapologetically Broadway—and utterly fabulous.
After the show, I asked Triangle d’Or choreographer Jonna Abrams whether Gentleman Gambit (10E) was inspired by “Mein Herr.” While she explained that it wasn’t, she loved the connection I made and told me, “That’s a special way of seeing it”—a response offered with genuine warmth and appreciation, one of the many things I love about Triangle d’Or Cabaret. It does so much more than entertainment-it allows for personal interpretation, emotional connection, and delight that lingers long after the curtains fall.
Triangle d’Or Cabaret is officially branching out into a line of stylish, clean, and wearable merchandise. During the show, Creative Director and Founder Meydge Anguilley was joined by two Triangle d’Or team members to unveil a curated range available to purchase during intermission and after the performance. The lineup includes beanies, sweaters, and more stamped with the Triangle d’Or logo. For those seeking something more daring, guests can also request custom costumes or lingerie designs inspired by looks from the show, created by René Hyacinth, the smoking hot dancer in Ivresse de Toi (4E) and the designer behind many of Triangle d’Or‘s most racy ensembles. In true Triangle d’Or” fashion, now alive not only on the theatrical stage, but also on the body, and it proclaims itself boldly, sensually, and unabashedly chic.
Final Thoughts
10/10 Would strongly recommend!
Voulez-Vous Revue: This is Triangle d’Or Cabaret as refined as it can be, as mesmerizing. After attending four sold-out shows, the magic hasn’t worn off—and with more productions promised for 2026, I’ll be front and centre for whatever seductive spectacle they produce next.
