| - Disappointed in the show. The Queens were not very good at all. Their outfits were horrible...boring and conservative (mumus, nun costumes, full coverage). All they did was lipsync and most were not even good at that. The hostess, Mado, was pretty good, though, since she's quick-witted and her outfits were regal for the Madame Hostess part. However, you need to be fluent in French to really enjoy her schtick. Her sidekick, Nana, was not so good. Her post -intermission outfit was ridiculous, worthy perhaps for one number, but for the entire second half to see her dressed as an old lady in a see-through négligé with sagging paper tits was boring and no longer funny. Also they spent too much time during their act on the floor rather than on the stage, so that takes away from enjoying if you don't have front row seating. Nana led a couple of group numbers where the songs were lively but her lipsyncing to them was expressionless and dull. None of the Queens had great outfits and their makeup was terrible. Venue was OK but not enough seating. Reserve a table in advance or expect to stand a few hours. Sorry, Cabaret Mado, I had really looked forward to the show but it was a waste of a night in the great city of Montreal for our group.
