L'amour à La Carte - Théâtre à L'ouest - Lyon

Welcome to L'Amour à la Carte at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON

At THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, we are thrilled to open our doors to L'Amour à la Carte, a buoyant, fast-paced celebration of love, dating, and all the wonderfully awkward moments that stitch relationships together. Staged for maximum intimacy in our room, the show leans into everything our audience loves about live comedy: quicksilver timing, audacious punchlines, and the delicious unpredictability that comes when the crowd becomes part of the story. From the moment the lights rise, our team ushers you into a playful “menu” of scenes that explore first-date jitters, long-term couple rituals, breakup diplomacy, and the endlessly swipeable roulette of modern courtship. In our venue’s close-up setting, you’ll catch every raised eyebrow and mischievous aside as the cast toggles between sharp observational humor and improvisational mischief. The show’s signature vignettes—think Le Guide Michelin des Cœurs, La Table des Ex, and Match, Dématch—serve up a full tasting of perspectives: the romantic, the cynical, and the gloriously undecided. We’ve fine-tuned the sound and lighting to keep pace with the quick scene changes, and our front-of-house team is ready to welcome you with the warm, convivial atmosphere that has made our Lyon stage a favorite for nights out that feel both high-spirited and heartfelt.

What’s new this season at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON

As a venue committed to fresh writing and bold performance, we’ve programmed L'Amour à la Carte this season because it arrives with new ideas, nimble staging, and a renewed appetite for audience connection. The creative team has polished a sequence of recent sketches that sparkle with topical bite—Service Compris turns the tables on date etiquette with a restaurant-worthy flourish; Consultation Sentimentale playfully diagnoses couples’ quirks; and Commandez Votre Scène invites the audience to “order” the next scene, improvising on the spot from a list of daily specials. Our stage has become a rehearsal room for daring choices and split-second pivots, and we’ve seen the show’s momentum gather with each performance as new beats are tested and kept. For fans of contemporary comedic formats, there’s a delightful variety here: slice-of-life micro-sketches that arrive like amuse-bouches; character-driven pieces with slow-burn payoffs; and ensemble riffs where the cast weaves callbacks into a smart, satisfying finale. Musically, the company leans into playful interludes—Playlist des Crushs and Slow de Rattrapage—little comedic bridges that color the evening without breaking its rhythm. From our vantage point in the wings, what stands out is the craft: the way the performers calibrate timing to the room, the way running gags get gilded with new twists over a weekend, and the way Lyon’s audience has inspired fresh local nods woven into Le Guide Michelin des Cœurs. We’ve shaped the flow of the night to highlight this momentum—seating that brings you closer to the action, crisp transitions, and a room sound that lets you catch each whisper, each gasp, each laugh as it crests. L'Amour à la Carte isn’t just stopping by; it is evolving in real time on our stage, and we’re delighted to present these new servings of comedy, à la minute, for our Lyon audience.
