BROADWAY AU CARRE Continues Tonight

Currently in its second season of entirely sold-out performances, Broadway au Carré has definitely become the hottest ticket in Paris to get your American musical theatre fix, along with a good glass of red wine.

Every first Wednesday of the month, you can kick off your evening at Le Carré Parisien, a typical Parisian café and cave-à-vins, with a cabaret concert by a featured performer, followed by an open mic, where some of the best local artists gather to belt out their favorite Broadway show tunes. Broadway au Carré also features a new musical theatre composer each month, with a set of songs that have never been performed in Europe before.

Wednesday, May 6th is the date to remember if you want to come to Broadway au Carré's next show. This month the evening will start with "Comme à la Maison", a new show by Mathieu Becquerelle, a talented actor, pianist and songwriter, who will be accompanied by Clémence Matthey on cello.

The second part of the evening will consist of Broadway au Carré's American musical theatre open mic, hosted on this occasion by Broadway au Carré's artistic director Lisandro Nesis and Prisca Demarez (Kate Monster/Lucy the Slut in Avenue Q, Grizabella in Cats) and accompanied by John Florencio on the piano.

The "American Composers, European Premieres" set this month will feature the music of Adam Gwon -recipient of the Kleban Award, the Fred Ebb Award and the Richard Rodgers Award among many others-, as an avant-premiere of the first French production of his musical Ordinary Days, opening on May 15th at the Comédie Nation in Paris. Ordinary Days' French cast features four very well-renowned musical theatre performers : Prisca Demarez (Claire), Lauren Berkman (Deb), Lisandro Nesis (Warren) and Emmanuel Suarez (Jason), who will be directed by Colton Pometta and accompanied by John Florencio.

Broadway au Carré takes place the first Wednesday evening of each month at Le Carré Parisien located at 1, rue du Général Beuret, 75015 Paris, France. Doors open at 7 pm, showtime at 7:30 pm followed by an Open Mic at 9 pm. 10€ / 8€ (students) cover charge includes a drink. Reservations required at reservationscarreparisien@gmail.com.
