Scared of facing the rain in March? We get it, but no worries! The Parisian theaters are here to welcome you and give you the most delightful evenings! Here’s our selection of 10 shows you definitely don’t want to miss this month.

Made in France, at the Théâtre de la Renaissance

Émile finally gets a change in his sentence: he can leave prison and work at the factory with an electronic bracelet. If he behaves well, he might even get out earlier. But when he learns, on the day he arrives, that the factory is on strike and is about to close its doors, Émile's dreams come crashing down. Pretending to be a headquarters manager at times and an experienced union member at others, he doesn’t hesitate to do everything in his power to save himself, the factory, and his colleagues. With rhythm, humor, and a brilliantly crafted staging, this play stands out as a brilliant satire of our society. You leave feeling enchanted, having witnessed such a dynamic show, with your head buzzing with questions about our laws, our politics, and social issues.

Edmond, at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal 

Edmond Rostand, a father of two, hasn't written anything for two years and is feeling anxious. He then proposes a new play to Constant Coquelin, a masterpiece for which he currently has only the title: Cyrano de Bergerac. Despite the lack of enthusiasm and support from those around him, he is determined to write this play, which is now beloved by all. It tells a captivating and rhythmic story, features outstanding actors, an ambitious and innovative staging, the perfect blend of humor and emotion… Without a doubt, Alexis Michalik has discovered the perfect recipe to turn a classic from the Belle Époque into a classic of our time. The proof? The play was honored with five Molières in 2017 and celebrated its 2000th performance on January 17, 2026!

On paper, there's no one more exemplary in terms of ecology than Frédéric. A farmer, the mayor of his village, and a committed family man, he recycles, buys locally, and advocates for more sustainable transport and daily life. Yet, out of the blue, Frédéric decides to deploy cell towers all over his community. It doesn’t make sense... Through this satirical comedy, Samuel Valensi and Paul-Eloi Forget question the role of citizens in democracy and public debate.

Call Me Walt, &agr ```

Welcome to the Apollo Theatre

The name of Walt Disney is familiar to all of us. Thanks to the efforts of the Walt Disney Company, he has revolutionized the world of animation and, by extension, the world of cinema, bringing to life the most iconic animated films that continue to delight entire generations. But behind the visionary screenwriter and director, there was a loving brother, father, and husband, often absent. Call Me Walt is an immersion into the heart of this unique family, who benefited from and sometimes suffered due to Walt's fame. An ingenious play that reveals another side of the creator of Mickey Mouse—a tougher, more complex one—but always infused with the imagination we’ve come to associate with Walt Disney.
