The 7th edition of a celebration of musicals in Paris.

Châtelet returns the great musical to its roots with a French-language production.

An English-language version of the classic Broadway musical playing in Paris at the Lido 2.

At the Château De Karreveld, the Bruxellons! Festival presents the first French-language adaptation of the Tony-winning musical Come From Away.

The first revival of the Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Shönberg's first musical, the duo who brought us Les Misérables.

On the heels of the mini-musicals found at Disneyland Paris comes the first ever musical theater style live entertainment from its main European competitor in France (and Europe) Parc Astérix, inspired by the stories of the famous comic book series Asterix by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo.  This theme park offers a variety of attractions and shows based on historical periods from the world of Asterix and his friends, whimsically celebrating Gaulish culture with over 50 attractions and shows, including roller coasters, water rides, and live performances.  This year, as part of its 35th anniversary celebration, an original musical comedy C’est du délire !, or It’s Madness!, billed as “the first Gallic musical comedy”, began performances on March 30th. 

A Showstopping AMT Live Concert at Auguste Théâtre in Paris.

Zazie dans le Métro is a witty, vulgar, funny, and ultimately inventive musical adaption of the surrealist novel by Raymond Queneau and film by Louis Malle.

Finally, this Kander and Ebb masterpiece has been done in France, with French dialogue and lyrics to boot

Laurent Valière continues to bring us highlights from the 'New Golden Age for Musicals in France'.

Is one born an artist, or does one become an artist? Axel Alvarez intimately explores this question in his spectacularl, exuberantly danced, autobiographical one-man song and dance show in Paris.

For the 6th time since the beginning of the 80s, West Side Story, the Berstein-Sondheim Laurents masterpiece, was back in Paris for a limited run as part of a French tour before going to Sydney in April. In sync with the release of the Bradley Cooper biopic Maestro, it is great that younger generations are able to get a look at the real original thing.

Don't miss this new touring production of The Sound of Music, with dialogues in French and Songs in English.

Jean-Luc Choplin continues to bring Sondheim to Paris

Callaway has a way of finding new depths to even though most familiar songs, exerting a warmth that Winter in Paris needs.

After the huge success of the Mel Brooks musical 'The Producers', 'Monty Python’s Spamalot' was a logical choice to follow suite with another stage adaptation of a hilarious and sometimes bawdy movie, just like it happened on Broadway, where both shows followed one another, winning Tonys.

After many different incarnations since it first appeared as Swinging Life at L’Alhambra in 2009 and 2012, Valéry Rodriguez’s brainchild—now called Black Legends—has just begun its second 'season' in the new 13ème Art auditorium, following its sold-out run at Bobino last winter.  With a lot of new numbers added, a hip-hop medley, lively LED walls and lighting, and enhanced choreography, Black Legends fully deserves a second visit.

A Madonna Juke Box Musical in Paris. In the sub-genre of the juke box musical that doesn’t tell the story of the star from whose oeuvre the songs are taken, but rather works those songs around an original story, comes Holidays on the heels of several predecessors, notably Broadway’s Mama Mia and Jagged Little Pill. 

After venturing into British musicals with Blood Brothers in 2021 and Viennese musical theater with Elisabeth last year, the Bruxellons! Festival is getting back to Broadway with a completely new take on West Side Story, arguably the best musical ever—certainly the best-known and most well-loved one in Europe.

With seven nominations for the French Trophées de la Comédie Musicale (Best Musical, Direction, Book, Score, Leading Man, Leading Woman), Égo-Système is bound to be among the winners during this year's ceremony at the Casino de Paris on June 12th.
