CRAZY FOR YOU: Blackpink’s Lisa Manobal will apply her dancing prowess — and global star power — to Paris institution Crazy Horse, becoming a “Crazy Girl” herself.
The popular cabaret on Avenue George V announced on Tuesday that the K-pop star would headline five performances on Sept. 28, 29 and 30.
According to the Crazy Horse, Manobal has long been a fan of its unique style and will perform several solo scenes and appear with the troupe, reprising original numbers from the cabaret’s repertoire. These are to include such popular musical numbers as “But I Am a Good Girl” and :Crisis? What Crisis?”
Manobal is to wear the usual costumes for the show, “while giving them a personal touch.”

Crazy Horse has a long history of inviting guest stars to appear on its compact stage, including the likes of Arielle Dombasle, Conchita Wurst, Pamela Anderson and Dita Von Teese, who helped the cabaret mark its 65th anniversary in 2015.
The cabaret is prized for its artistic approach, occasionally conscripting guest artistic directors such as shoe guru Christian Louboutin and lingerie designer Chantal Thomass to design costumes and sets.
Manobal, known simply as Lisa to Blackpink’s legion of fans, is an ambassador for fashion house Celine, Roman jeweler Bulgari, MAC Cosmetics and others.
The Thai music sensation, prized for her singing, rapping and dancing, has also become a fashion icon. In 2021, she served on the jury of the prestigious French fashion prize ANDAM.
Tickets for the performances are sold only on the Crazy Horse website, which was inaccessible due to a long queue on Tuesday evening.
