QUICK REVIEW

Gigi is a story of La Belle Époque, Paris at the turn of the century: a world of beauty and luxury and sophisticates like Honore and his handsome nephew, Gaston. In this world love is a work of art and also a business arrangement. Little Gigi is being trained by her Aunt Alicia: she must learn how to allure, how to recognize the true flame at the heart of an emerald, how to choose a cigar - but Gigi doesn’t want just to be someone's mistress - even Gaston's. To his surprise Gaston discoversthat Gigi is the only girl who doesn’t bore him.

Gigi is a show that bubbles like the champagne that flows through its vivid scenes. There is a tang of salty French wit, too and a lacing of all-time hits: "Gigi", "The Night They Invented Champagne", "I Remember It Well" and "Thank Heaven For Little Girls".
