I didn’t go to the Can Can Culinary Cabaret‘s new show, The Legend of El Dorado, for the plot. I went for the butts. And the food.

The actual legend of El Dorado is many things: a man, a myth, a kingdom pursued by the Spanish Empire. It isn’t something that easily translates into an hour-and-a-half dinner cabaret.

Thankfully, it turns out that Can Can’s El Dorado is more concerned with booty shorts, high kicks, and stripteases than staying faithful to a narrative.
