In addition to musicals, the live entertainment industry also offers musical shows. Shows in which music plays a predominant role, of course, but which are somewhat different from musicals in the strict sense of the word.
In the world of live performance, artists often like to combine theater with music, the kind that soothes the soul, the kind that goes so well with literary texts.
Whether it's artists who tell their stories through music, actors who choose to be accompanied by musicians for the duration of a given show, ortribute to song or singers, there are many forms of musical performance. Shows built around a musical work, shows by songwriters, funny or dramatic shows, all have the merit of attracting a wider audience. Theater and music lovers alike.
Of course, the capital is full of musical offerings. Some venues, such as the Théâtre du Châtelet, to a lesser extent, or the more recent Lido2Paris, have chosen to specialize in musical theater.
