Seattle's Cancan culinary
cabaret is back with
a brand new show that screams Halloween time
here to perform Hitchcock hotel
from their new fall spectacular.
Please welcome members of
the cast from can can.
Welcome to the Hitchcock hotel.
You'll get to know us quite well.
I'm frankly, my dear,
have no feel fit right,
and I can tell he'll fit right, and I
can tell he'll fit right and we can tell.
Warmest regards, dear friend.
Where do I even begin?
It may seem alarming.
We're really quite charming,
yet gonna fit right in.
Those things may seem unfamiliar.
An encounter with the peculiar.
There's no rhyme or reason.
Tis Hitchcock season,
merry dance and fare thee well.
Welcome to the Hitchcock hotel.
It seems to be going quite well.
Let's celebrate this season.
Give all the more reason
it's time to ring the bell.
Wow, fabulous. Thank you so much.
That was wonderful.
And I'm with Chris Pink,
artistic director and owner of Cancan.
That was wonderful.
Tell us about Hitchcock hotel. Thank
you. It's our full-time original show.
It's loosely based on some of the
old sort of classic comedy horror.
Shows of the past. And yeah,
we're just really excited.
This story, it essentially revolves
around the main character
named John Kingsley.
John Kingsley has found himself in a
very precarious hotel who he thought
he was getting this high profile job
and it ends up not being that at all.
So it very much follows
sort of the B movie sort of.
Right. I sensed that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So this seems a little more campy
than most at camp. Can you say that?
Yeah, I would say a little quirky.
More quirky than campy,
but we always have a little hair.
That's true, but it's pretty quirky,
and there's audience
participation in this as well.
There is, yes. I think with all Cancan
shows there's some expectation of audience.
Anything you can preview or?
Well, I mean that was a
pretty good preview audience.
I wanna know what's coming.
I maybe I don't want when
I'm in the audience. Yeah.
You know we always will
have someone dancing their way
through the through the venue. Yeah.
OK. So I don't have to be necessarily be
a great dancer to to go and we actually
prefer that you not.
It's like the bad people that karaoke.
I get that. OK, so this is
original music and choreography.
How long has this been in the works?
It's been in the works for
about a year. We've probably been talking
about about it quite a bit longer,
but yeah, about a year, right?
What are the ideas come from? Out of the
imagination, I suppose.
Generally Hitchcock hotel has
sort of the idea of Hitchcock
hotel has evolved overtime,
but just, I don't know,
magically appear. I'd
love to just know what's
going on in that head, right?
I wish I knew I would crack
it the code a little harder.
Tell me what audiences can
expect because it's food as well.
Yeah, food, drinks.
Heavily entertained for the evening.
It's, it's a it's an exceptional experience
that people can sort of walk away.
Hopefully a life changing experience.
Well, it's fabulous.
Just a little brief glimpse
I got from there and I'm the
bad dancer than you want.
Come see your show then, right?
Because I am. I'm the Elaine, right.
Alright, thank you so much.
Can cans, Hitchcock.
Hitchcock Hotel is playing
now through November 27th
at the Pike Place Market.
