As spring sets in and our mood begins to lift, most of us are already dreaming of our next sunkissed adventure. And we can probably all agree that the mere thought of packing our suitcases with our favourite sunnies, hats, and swimwear and jetting off to a gorgeous destination abroad is exciting enough to make the daily grind far more bearable. The Mediterranean island of Cyprus is a notorious sun-seekers paradise, offering the ideal escape by palm-fringed cerulean seas. But what’s on your Cyprus holiday wish list this year? Perhaps your idea of happiness is dipping your toes in a shimmering pool and enjoying the luxury of carefree days under blue skies. Or maybe you yearn for the thrill of an exciting escape? A retreat packed with holiday entertainment and exhilarating fun for all the family.
Time out at the Olympic Lagoon Resorts in Cyprus’ seaside towns of Paphos and Ayia Napa has been carefully designed to offer everything you could wish for in a perfect five-star getaway. Laze by the water’s edge while the kids have a blast at supervised clubs. Then take a break to indulge in midday buffet feats. Or soothe aching muscles with a rejuvenating spa session before popping down to the nearby beach. And when day turns into night, it’s time to revel in the very best holiday entertainment in Cyprus!
Kanika Hotels & Resorts is famed for its top-class and highly-rated professional performances. And year after year, it elevates the holiday experience with its own special ‘Kanika spin’ on trending musicals. Most recently, Cyprus’ pioneering hotel group garnered endless praise and rave online reviews for its production of This is the Greatest Show. But now, the spectacle is set to become more exciting than ever…
This April, a brand-new show enters the Kanika spotlight to thrill the whole family. Bursting with magic and excitement, Le Mystique draws inspiration from the popular Moulin Rouge musical. The show opened on Broadway in 2019 before debuting in London’s West End in 2022. An electrifying musical, it’s based on the namesake Baz Luhrmann film that follows the life of a young poet, Christian, who falls in love with a cabaret actress named Satine in the famous Moulin Rouge. Set in Paris’ Montmartre Quarter during the early 20th century, the show is renowned for its energetic performances, elaborate set design, and use of modern pop songs.
Over the past six months, the talented Kanika Hotels & Resorts entertainment team has been busy preparing for its very own fabulously flamboyant, magically mystical, soul-stirring Moulin Rouge-inspired dance spectacular. And it promises to whisk audiences away on an unforgettable journey into a surreal world of seductive colour, glamour, glitz, and glory.
“We spent a long time creating the concept for the show and then writing and recording the music. We then trained a group of musicians, planned out the choreography, and created custom-made costumes,” explains Group Entertainment Manager, Claire Stephanou. “A talented group of highly-skilled professionals has joined creative forces to make the magic happen. Our expert musical director, choreographer, costume designer, performers, musicians, and other team members have really poured their heart and soul into a performance set to surpass all expectations.”
The show features ten Kanika All-Stars performers, all hand-picked and highly trained in musical theatre. The performers are accompanied on stage by a five-piece band, determined to elevate your Cyprus holiday entertainment with an alternative take on the smash hit Moulin Rouge soundtrack. From ‘Lady Marmalade’ to ‘Sparkling Diamonds and ‘Chandelier’, you’ll be tempted to sing (or shimmy) along from start to finish!
Le Mystique promises a sparkling musical celebration of love and beauty – an extravagant expression of freedom and the power of emotion. The romance of yesteryear with a fun modern twist. Feast your eyes on the vibrant ruffles and feathers, satins and silks, diamonds and stripes, as signature lighting shines down on the performers. Energetic routines will get your heart racing but that’s not all. Adding to the drama and spectacle, a mysterious illusionist will leave you wide-eyed. All this, within the remarkable vanishing acts within the magical surroundings of the state-of-the-art, custom-designed Xperience Arena.
Le Mystique promises to make your next Cyprus holiday unforgettable…so do come along if you ‘can, can, can’!
