Les Copines D'abord - Le Rideau Rouge De Lyon

Le Rideau Rouge presents Les Copines d'Abord

From our intimate stage at Le Rideau Rouge, we welcome Les Copines d'Abord with the warmth and conviviality that define our venue. The show’s title sets the tone: a lively, heartfelt celebration of friendship shaped for a room where the audience is close enough to catch the wink behind a punchline and the breath between harmonies. Expect a sparkling blend of theater, music, and humor, calibrated for the red-curtain atmosphere that has made our house a favorite for spirited evenings in Lyon. Here, storytelling unfolds with a cabaret sensibility—nimble scene changes, quicksilver character shifts, and songs that arrive like confidences shared at a café table. The performers lean into our acoustics and sightlines, favoring genuine connection over spectacle for spectacle’s sake. As ever, our team supports the show with warm lighting palettes and a close-knit sound mix, enhancing voices and live arrangements while letting all the nuance of the performance shine through. Les Copines d'Abord thrives on this proximity, inviting you to laugh, nod, and occasionally sing along as the night gathers momentum.

Fresh energy, sharpened material, and a season made for Lyon

This season, the creative team behind Les Copines d'Abord returns to Le Rideau Rouge with a refreshed version that underscores everything audiences love about the piece while introducing new ideas and finely tuned transitions. The staging favors fluid rhythms and quick, playful escalations, giving each scene room to breathe and every musical moment a clear emotional arc. You’ll notice newly polished arrangements, smartly layered vocal work, and a sense of timing that has been honed in rehearsal rooms and try-outs around town. The show’s perspective feels unmistakably current—attentive to everyday joys and frictions, to the pulses of the city, and to the resilient bonds that give the performance its name. In our space, that modernity lands with special resonance: a laugh ripples to the back row, then returns as a chorus of recognition. Between sketch-driven banter, character portraits, and melodic interludes, the ensemble gives a generous evening that brims with movement and heart. Whether you come for the wit, the music, or the glow of a shared night out, this is a production made to be experienced up close.

What sets Les Copines d'Abord apart at Le Rideau Rouge is the way it invites you into a living conversation—one that plays out through crisp dialogue, expressive vocals, and a choreography of glances and gestures that only truly resonates in an intimate room. Our audience often describes the performance as a gathering more than a simple show: friends meet friends onstage, and the crowd becomes part of the rhythm. Live instruments add color and warmth, while the performers’ rapport delivers an easy, sparkling pace from the first greeting to the final bow. We’ve crafted the setting to support that connection—comfortable seating, attentive sound, and a stage picture that draws you toward the storytellers rather than away from them. If your ideal night pairs laughter with musical uplift, and if you enjoy theater that breaks the ice quickly and keeps the conversation lively, join us for Les Copines d'Abord. The production returns to our red-draped room with renewed confidence and a lovingly detailed performance language that is best experienced where it was meant to be: right here, under the lights of Le Rideau Rouge.
