A French musical theater performance style that typically features chorus girls, or a French girl or woman.
From French 'gigues' referring to lively dances, or possibly from an earlier French slang term. It became famous through the 1959 movie and musical of the same name.
The musical 'Gigi' in 1959 literally changed how Hollywood made movies—it won nine Academy Awards and proved that big-budget movie musicals could still succeed, launching a renaissance of movie musicals throughout the 1960s.
