Synopsis
Set in Paris at the turn of the century, this delightful musical, based on a story by Collette, follows a precocious (早熟的) French girl as she is groomed (培养) into a would-be courtesan (妓女), blossoming into a stunning woman.
Gaston Lachaille is becoming bored with the high life he is leading ... especially the women. He only truly enjoys the time that he spends with one of his uncle's old friends, Madame Alvarez, and her grand-daughter, the precocious and carefree Gigi. However, Gigi is being groomed to follow in her grandmother's footsteps -- as a famous courtesan. It suddenly occurs to Gaston that he could become her first protector, but the situation makes him uneasy until he discovers that he's in love with Gigi and wants to marry her.
