January is the month of good resolutions and new things. Among our new (good) resolutions, what if we decided to go to the theater even more regularly to see great shows?
At the start of the year, some shows and venues take a few days off to recover from the hectic festive season, when shows are in full swing and performances are non-stop. For others, January is the time to launch their eagerly-awaited new shows, with or without fanfare. Finally, another option open to the world of live entertainment is the extension of shows that have already been successful, and for which demand is always very high.
From plays (comedies, dramas...) to musicals, circus shows, immersive shows,comedy shows, magic shows, dance shows and cabaret revues, there's plenty to choose from in Paris this January.
Beginners or experienced, stars, alone, as a duo or in a troupe, the artists are determined to spend the beginning of the year on stage, in the company of the public.
