Musicals in Paris
Ghost, Mamma Mia, Tom Sawyer and more: this year’s most anticipated musicals!
With shows like Notre-Dame de Paris, Cats, Greaseand Dirty Dancing playing to sold-out audiences, Paris has become a real mecca for musicals. Just like Broadway in New York, Paris venues have developed a distinctive artistic identity and become genuine hubs for live performance. With their toe-tapping songs, dazzling stage decor and extravagant scenography, musicals have become a must-do for many visitors to Paris. A great outing with the family or a group of friends.
This year, the biggest Paris venues are once again putting on a whole range of exciting shows to choose from.
Ghost
The hyper-successful adaptation of the cult film starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore, Ghost the Musical finds new form on the stage of the Théâtre Mogador from 26 September 2019. This famous love story and its original soundtrack create one of the most romantic musicals out there.

Other musicals
