Grimhilde Manor: the family-friendly musical at the Apollo

A haunted house provides refuge for two teenagers in Le Manoir Grimilde, a family musical staged at the Apollo Theatre in Paris, running from 11 October to 29 November 2026. The Alexandre Fox company presents this production, written and directed by Tim Frion, for eight performances, every Sunday at 5 p.m.

The tale opens after two runaways escape from Miss Pinson’s orphanage. They find shelter in a house haunted by ghosts, whose attempts to frighten them prove futile. Victor, a young spirit, becomes their ally. Their meeting takes a new direction when a family secret endangers the souls that inhabit the place: Madame Grimilde sets out to thwart an ancient prophecy.
