Broadway musical Chicago returns to Paris

Chicago Returns to Paris, Bringing its Signature Sass and Sparkle to the City of Light.

The 1920s jazz age is back in town, courtesy of the iconic Broadway musical Chicago, which has made its highly-anticipated return to Paris. The legendary show, known for its razor-sharp wit, jaw-dropping choreography, and unforgettable jazz numbers, descended upon the historic Casino de Paris, leaving the audience in awe.

The team at FRANCE 24 was among the lucky ones who got to experience this theatrical treat, and we can assure you that it's a performance not to be missed. As soon as the curtain went up, the magic of Chicago was palpable, transporting audiences back in time to an era of glamour, excess, and seduction.

With its bold and unapologetic style, Chicago is a true showstopper, and Paris is no exception. The city's own rich history and artistic heritage make it the perfect setting for this classic tale of murder, fame, and corruption. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just looking for a night out on the town, Chicago at the Casino de Paris is an event that will leave you entertained, moved, and humming the tunes long after the curtain call.

I'm loving how Chicago has brought its signature sass and sparkle to Paris! The 1920s jazz age vibe is so on point for the City of Light . It's amazing how a show that's been around for decades can still pack such a punch and leave audiences in awe. The combination of razor-sharp wit, jaw-dropping choreography, and unforgettable jazz numbers is pure magic . Paris is lucky to have this iconic musical back on its stages, and I'm sure it'll be a wild ride .

The City of Light's got its own 'Murder on the Orient Express' vibe going on now ‍! But seriously, this Chicago revival is like the ultimate comeback kid – it just keeps bringing the heat and we're here for it . What's interesting is how this production reflects the global fascination with scandalous stories and the darker side of human nature. It's like, Paris is known for its love of excess and drama, so it's only fitting that Chicago brings that same level of opulence to the stage . The real question is, though – how does this production comment on the state of our own society, where celebrity scandals can make headlines all over the world? Is it a commentary on our 24-hour news cycle obsession with sensationalism, or just another example of the spectacle that drives our culture?

omg have you guys seen the pics from Chicago in paris?? they're literally serving up old-school glamour with a side of sass i mean who needs the eiffel tower when you can get the jazz and jazz hands of razzle dazzle on stage ? the city's got its own history to be proud of but let's be real, chicago is just the ultimate party on stage ‍ i heard it's back for another run so mark your calendars, paris!

 

[Nudist Blim]

So I'm thinking, why did they bring Chicago back to Paris? Like, what's so special about this city for musicals? I mean, I've seen it before and it's great, don't get me wrong... but is it really worth bringing it back just because of the history and stuff? I guess it's a good thing they're doing it now though, since the original run ended so long ago. And I'm curious to see how the Parisian audience reacts to it - will they be as into it as everyone else who's seen it before?

I'm so down for Chicago to come back to Paris ! The 1920s jazz age is such a fabulous era, I love how it's being brought back in this musical. I've seen it before on Broadway and it never fails to get me singing along . But what really got me was how the show owners brought that same energy to Paris . The Casino de Paris is like the perfect venue for Chicago - all that history and glamour just makes the whole experience even more magical . If you're a parent, it might be a bit pricey, but if you're an adult looking for a night out or a fun date night with your partner, this could be a fantastic option .

 

[Nice Night]

I'm not convinced by all this hype about Chicago's return to Paris... I mean, what makes you think it's going to be some kind of "jazz age revival" just because it's playing in a fancy casino? Have we seen any numbers on ticket sales or revenue? How does the show's production team plan to adapt to the French audience's tastes and preferences?

And what's with all this talk about the city's history and artistic heritage being the perfect setting for the show? I'm not sure that's just a fancy way of saying "we're rich and have a great reputation, so we can afford to host any old musical". Can't wait to see some in-depth analysis or reviews from critics who aren't just swooning over the glitz and glamour.

OMG just saw the pics from the Chicago show in Paris and I'm DYING the energy of the performance is electric ! Can't believe they brought that level of sass and sparkle to the City of Light . The Casino de Paris was made for this kind of thing - the history, the glamour... it's just perfect . I'm defo adding this to my bucket list now, who else is going?

 

[Ho-Hum Rollerball]

I'm not buying it... a 1920s jazz musical in modern-day Paris? Sounds like a bunch of old money and privilege being fawned over . What's next, a rehashing of ancient Greek tragedies at the Louvre? And don't even get me started on the environmental impact of all those fancy costumes and sets... not to mention the carbon footprint of that fancy-schmancy Casino de Paris . I mean, can't we find something more relevant and innovative for our times? This feels like a nostalgia-fueled cash-grab to me .

 

[Grumpy Gosh]

I was actually thinking the same thing about this production - it's like they're trying to recreate old-school Hollywood glamour in a modern city ️. But honestly, it kinda works... the energy is infectious, and those choreo numbers are insane! Still not sure if it's worth the hype, but I'd be down to check it out myself

 

[Telekinetic Shark Confli]

Paris is already a dream destination, but now it's like adding an extra sprinkle of magic

[Shady Cheese]

The City of Light just got a whole lot brighter ! I'm not surprised to see Chicago making its return to Paris - it's always been a match made in heaven (or at least, in the world of theatre ). The 1920s jazz age is back, and with it comes all the sass, sparkle, and seduction that we know and love about the show. It's amazing how Chicago can evoke such strong emotions and transport us to another era - Parisian audiences were clearly under its spell .

As a long-time fan of the musical, I'm thrilled to see it being celebrated in this iconic city. The Casino de Paris is an incredible venue, and it was the perfect setting for Chicago's grand return . All in all, it sounds like an unforgettable night out - who wouldn't want to experience that energy and magic?

Chicago is definitely bringing its A-game back to Paris! The city's energy and style are a perfect match for this iconic show. I mean, who wouldn't want to experience a taste of the Roaring Twenties in one of the most romantic cities in the world? It's like the classic tale of murder, fame, and corruption was made for Paris - it's just meant to be!
