4. Titanique at the Théâtre du Lido

(From 24 Apr to 6 July 2025)

Fresh off its Off-Broadway triumph, Titanique is making waves. The Titanic is synonymous with Céline Dion, but this riotous musical has taken it one step further, putting her on board the ship! Played with over-the-top flair by Lauren Drew, Céline steals the spotlight, hilariously retelling Jack and Rose’s doomed love story from her own melodramatic diva perspective.
Set to a soundtrack of Céline’s greatest hits—from I’m Alive to the iconic My Heart Will Go On—this madcap show is a gleeful mix of campy choreography, absurd costumes, and brilliantly low-budget sets. Opening April 24th, it’s a high-energy, laugh-out-loud spectacle that sails full-speed into pure theatrical mayhem—and you’ll be thrilled to go down with the ship.
This riotous musical will have you gasping for air… in between fits of laughter.

5. Chicago at Casino de Paris

(From 7 Nov 2025 to 31 Jan 2026)

Slick, sexy, and seedy than ever - Chicago is back.
Step into the smoky, jazz-fuelled world of 1920s Chicago, where fame is fleeting, justice is for sale, and murder is just another route to the spotlight. With killer choreography, scandalous charm, and a positively wicked score, this iconic musical is a masterclass in showbiz seduction.
Follow the sultry Roxie Hart and the fierce Velma Kelly as they vie for headlines, backed by the smooth-talking lawyer Billy Flynn, in a tale of ambition, betrayal, and all that jazz. With its minimalist staging, glittering costumes, and Bob Fosse’s signature moves, Chicago is as stylish as it is subversive.
From the first note to the final bow, Chicago is a dangerously fun night out at Casino de Paris. If you're looking for tickets, you can find more information on their website.
