Attention showgoers and theatre-goers, or anyone who wants to get the week off to a good start! So, yes, Monday isn't necessarily considered the best day of the week, but that depends on what you do with it! In Paris and the Ile-de-France region, many plays and shows of all kinds choose to play on Monday evenings to give you a boost!
While Paris and the surrounding area offers a wide choice of plays of all kinds(comedy, tragedy, thriller...) and shows of all types(one-man shows, circus, musicals, dance shows...) throughout the week, its residents can also enjoy themselves on Monday evenings! The first day of the week is often considered a rest day for the troupes, but some shows decide otherwise.
Starting the week with a show or play in or around Paris not only extends the weekend, but also allows you to discover new artistic creations that you might not have taken the time to see on another evening. Having a bad Monday? Consider a comedy club session or a comedy show at the theater. Want to get away from it all? A dance show or a literary adaptation of a play will take you on a journey.
We've selected the shows and plays to see on Mondays, because no, you don't have to wait until the end of the week to have a good time!
