Foxes feast on cabaret dancers' Louboutins. Foxes are being blamed for ruining thousands of pounds of cabaret dancers’ Louboutin shoes. Bosses claim the animals ran wild backstage at night in the new temporary Crazy Horse venue on the South Bank in London, gnawing 10 pairs of high heels and biting off straps. The costume team is trying to repair some of the £1,000-a-pair shoes but several were destroyed, said producer Nick Zuppar. He added: “We have four foxes on site and can do nothing to stop them running wild. We’ve had to hire a guard to sit here with a dog through the night to scare them off. “We arrived in the morning to find shoes all over the stage. At first I thought they were just the cheap ballet shoes, then I realised that the foxes picked the most expensive pink Louboutins. They must be very discerning. Our costume designer had a breakdown.” One of the foxes was caught and will be kept in a cage until the end of the production. Trafalgar Square falconer David van Vynck said he was not surprised to hear that foxes are targeting the South Bank. “You can find urban foxes pretty much everywhere in London now. They have become more of a problem in the past 10 or 15 years and are more at ease around humans now.” Crazy Horse opened its Forever Crazy show, produced by Harvey Goldsmith, on Tuesday night. The erotic cabaret in the purpose-built Spiegeltent will continue its run until December 16.
