Located in the southwest part of the Old Town Chinatown neighborhood, the theatre was constructed in 1890 and opened as a burlesque house. It was later converted to a cinema, then a club and music venue, before serving as an adult movie theater until 2016. The building was a live venue and nightclub until it closed in October 2019. Currently, owned by Seattle-based Can Can Productions, Can Can's Paris Theatre hosts cabaret shows with burlesque and can-can.
