December 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal month for live entertainment in Paris and the Île-de-France region. At the crossroads between the end of the autumn season and the start of the festive season, this period will see many shows and plays reach their final dates. This context offers a diversity of experiences for audiences, from short-lived creations to seasonal revivals and one-off performances designed to bring the year to a close in style.
Current and upcoming plays at the Comédie-Française
Every season, the Comédie-Française offers a rich program of theater classics and contemporary creations. A must-see for lovers of tragedy, comedy and drama, with constantly renewed productions. [Read more]
Shows ending in December 2025 would cover a wide range of genres: end-of-year comedies, more intimate works, contemporary narratives or scenic proposals combining theater, music or visual performance. This wealth of offerings would allow spectators to choose according to their desires, between artistic discoveries and festive outings.
In an often busy month, marked by school vacations and Christmas preparations, these last performances would be a good option for those wishing to add a cultural touch to their December. Theaters in and around Paris frequently offer special opening times and sometimes special prices during this period, making the experience all the more accessible.
Fancy going to see a play or show in Paris or the Ile-de-France region, but don't know which one to choose? Our reviews of current plays and shows are here to advise you! [Read more]
Attending a show that ends in December 2025 would also allow us to close the year with a return to live performance, often in a warmer, more attentive atmosphere. It would be a privileged moment to enjoy the works before they are withdrawn, sometimes with a view to a tour, a later revival or simply a renewal of programming as January approaches.
December thus combines a dense cultural offering and festive energy, in a unique balance where theater finds its rightful place alongside other end-of-year rituals. A month not to be overlooked for those who wish to end 2025 in theatres, facing a lively stage.
