Megazilla Bémol: a parody musical comedy at the Béliers

Megazilla Bémol, a comedic parody musical directed by Zacharie Saal, will be performed at Béliers Parisiens on March 15, 22, 29, and April 5, 2026, at 8 p.m.

The musical comedy Megazilla Bémol is set to take the stage at the Théâtre des Béliers Parisiens for four special performances on Sundays, March 15, 22, and 29, as well as April 5 at 8 p.m. Directed by Zacharie Saal and presented in partnership with Le Chainon, this show offers a musical parody inspired by disaster movies and monster flicks that became icons of 1990s popular culture.

The story takes place on November 30, 1994, just the day before Thanksgiving, when the giant creature Mecha-Zilla suddenly appears in New York City. Confronted with this spectacular arrival, all hope rests on Jerry Thompson, portrayed as a macro-molecular biologist specializing in massive underwater creatures. His mission: to try and communicate with the monster and prevent disaster. Amid scientific urgency, mass panic, and unexpected questions—like the perfect cooking time for a turkey—the show playfully twists the typical disaster narrative tropes.

Designed as a parody of a quintessential American musical, the production is sprinkled with references to classic monster movies and 1990s blockbuster hits. According to the show's description, the script embraces intentionally quirky and playful humor, gleefully twisting the clichés of these iconic pop culture staples. The music, performances, and direction work together to create a comedic dynamic that turns catastrophe into a theatrical playground.

The cast features Ana Torralbot, Camille Long, Camille Nicolas, Zacharie Saal, Martin Pauvert, Jean-Baptiste Schmitt, and Ayouba Ali, along with Nicolas Soulié. Together, the actors bring to life the diverse characters of this musical production, where the storytelling switches seamlessly between ensemble scenes, musical numbers, and slapstick moments inspired by disaster movie conventions.

With its humorous tone and countless nods to popular cinema, Megazilla Bémol is especially aimed at fans of comedic musicals, pop culture enthusiasts, and those who enjoy playful parodies of iconic monster movies. The show is likely to appeal to teenagers and adults who appreciate this fun, reference-rich universe. However, it's not primarily targeted at very young children or viewers seeking a strictly dramatic experience.

Don’t miss this show at the Théâtre des Béliers Parisiens, where it will be performed in four special one-night-only shows until April 5th.
