From December 13, 2025, to January 3, 2026,the Apollo Theater presents La Course des Marmottes de Noël, a family musical produced by Alyzée Créations. Designed for children ages 4 and up, this show offers a humorous winter adventure centered around two marmots determined to finally discover the magic of the holidays. The show will be performed at 3 p.m. for a limited series of performances aimed at families during the holiday season.
The story follows Lily, a mischievous little marmot who, like all her kind, misses Christmas every year because of hibernation. Wanting to experience this long-awaited moment at least once, she takes her brother on an escapade to the North Pole. This quest becomes a journey punctuated by original songs and participatory moments, where the characters face a series of encounters and obstacles. The staging uses accessible and visual storytelling to gently address perseverance, brotherhood, and the wonder of childhood.
Written and directed by Dorothée Martinet, the production is based on a musical collaboration with Cécilia Meltzer, with two performers who play the marmots and the characters they meet along the way. Pop songs, rhythmic dialogue, and stage effects create an energetic world designed to capture the attention of young audiences while offering a warm setting for their companions. Dance elements and participatory play encourage children to actively follow the imaginary journey to Santa Claus.
The show is part of the end-of-year offerings for young audiences, combining humor, music, and a coming-of-age story. Its 50-minute format, suitable for younger children, allows for a quick immersion in a festive atmosphere where the bond between the two main characters takes center stage. The show aims to offer an accessible family experience during the holiday season.
Practical information from the production company: a special rate of €12 (instead of €16) is available with the code TEAMBOULEDEPOIL. This offer is subject to availability at the time of booking.
La Course des Marmottes de Noël can be seen at the Apollo Comedy Theater until January 3, 2026.
