Singin’ in the Rain

While the Théâtre du Châtelet is closed for renovations, the famous

theatre is taking its productions to the Grand Palais, one of the city’s

most iconic exhibition halls, which is known for welcoming French

fashion house Chanel for their seasonal fashion shows. The theatre’s

first production to be taking over this monumental space is Singin’

in the Rain. Through to the 11th of January, the Grand Palais will be

transformed into an extraordinary stage, welcoming the cast of Singin’

in the Rain, the musical based on the cult movie of the same name.

Directed by Robert Carsen, the production is performed in English

with French surtitles, and brilliantly brings the well-known story of

movie-making in the 20s to the glass monument.

Musical Stomps

The all-dancing, all-stomping dance troupe Stomp is back in Paris for more sweeping shows. It has been over two decades since the Stomp troupe

started sweeping the world with their incredible, and very original, show that sees the 8 artists, musicians, dancers and percussionists perform with

their very surprising signature instruments, rubbish bins and brooms. Using normal household items, the performers create a musical show that will

leave you wanting to musically stomp your way through life.

Playing at Folies Bergère until the 24th of December
