Paradis Latin Reviews


We thoroughly enjoyed. There was never a dull moment from beautiful costumes to great dancing to comedy! The show was modern with great props, costumes, music and technology! Would highly recommend. We chose this over Moulin Rouge and we're not disappointed.

Marnie, Headout, September 2022

This was a great show. My wife and I just got the "half bottle of champagne" so we got a full bottle together. The staff was very nice, the show was great, and best of all as they escorted us to our seats, I can't believe they had a front row table for us! Well worth it!
