All Fired Up: Arthur Jugnot's musical comedy at the Comédie de Paris

Tout feu tout flamme is the new musical written and directed by Arthur Jugnot, staged at the Comédie de Paris starting August 26, 2026. This original production reinterprets the figure of Joan of Arc by flipping the traditional historical narrative on its head, delivering a blend of theatre, songs, and humor.

If history remembers Joan of Arc as the young shepherdess from Domrémy who helped crown Charles VII before being burned at the stake, Tout feu tout flamme imagines an alternate take on the character. The show bills itself as the “almost true story” of Joan of Arc, a heroine who, this time, wouldn’t hear voices but... songs. This premise serves as the through-line for a musical creation that leans into a quirky, parodic tone.

Arthur Jugnot handles both the book and the direction of this musical comedy, while the original score is entrusted to Romain Trouillet, already known for several stage productions. On stage, Pierre Bénézit, Zoé Bidaud, Victor Bourigault, Sara Sousa and Djamel Mehnane bring this whimsical reimagining of one of the most famous figures in French history to life.

Scheduled at the Comédie de Paris, in the 9th arrondissement, the show is slated to run Wednesday through Saturday at 7 p.m., with a Sunday matinee at 3 p.m. Performances begin on August 26, 2026 and are currently planned through early January 2027.

This production is aimed especially at fans of musical comedies, historical parodies, and shows that blend theatre with music. Rather than faithfully retelling the life of Joan of Arc, it opts for a deliberately playful variation, built around songs and a humorous tone.
