Les Copines D'abord - Le Rideau Rouge De Lyon

Le Rideau Rouge welcomes Les Copines d’Abord

At Le Rideau Rouge, we take pride in hosting performances that feel close, warm, and unforgettably human, and Les Copines d’Abord embodies that promise from the first note to the final bow. On our intimate Lyon stage, this joyful, harmony-rich show combines wit, energy, and vocal finesse to celebrate friendship and the everyday moments that make it extraordinary. The performers glide from upbeat numbers to tender ballads, folding playful comedy into clever musical arrangements that sparkle in our room’s cozy acoustics and red-velvet glow. As a venue, we love how the set design and lighting in this production are built to amplify expression rather than overwhelm it: subtle washes, precise cues, and crisp sound that spotlight each voice, each joke, each glance. Expect an evening where the audience becomes part of the rhythm—clapping, humming, and sometimes singing along—because the performers invite that kind of participation, treating the room not as a hall of strangers but as a circle of friends.

Current artistic spotlight

What excites us most at Le Rideau Rouge is the show’s evolving artistic life. Les Copines d’Abord arrives with fresh arrangements and a living setlist that loves the present as much as it honors familiar melodies. The cast has been refining new medleys that thread recent francophone hits into their signature vocal blend—think the empowering pulse of Balance ton quoi, the disco-tinged glow of Le dernier jour du disco, the catchy hook of Copines, the bright rush of Bruxelles je t’aime, or the breathy momentum of Respire encore. The choices rotate, the harmonies shift, and the storytelling keeps a conversational tone that feels handcrafted for our room. Between numbers, the performers share quick-fire asides and heartfelt anecdotes, shaping the night like a diary of modern sisterhood—funny, confessional, and generous. Their current momentum is palpable: tighter choreography, bolder mashups, and agile transitions that move from laughter to goosebumps. It’s a confident, contemporary chapter for the troupe, geared for close-up listening and the kind of connection that only a live room like ours can deliver.

From our vantage point behind the curtain, we see how meticulously Les Copines d’Abord has been built as a live experience for Le Rideau Rouge. The pacing lets each voice shine without losing ensemble drive; the arrangements are tuned to our space so the blend remains clean whether whispered or full-throttle; and the comedic beats are timed to the room’s heartbeat, catching the crowd just as the laughter crests. We recommend arriving with friends—the show rewards shared glances and collective nostalgia—but it also surprises solo attendees with its easy warmth and inclusive spirit. Expect tasteful nods to iconic refrains, sparkling contemporary callbacks, and a finale crafted to send the audience out buoyant and humming. As guardians of an intimate stage, we cherish productions that balance craft and spontaneity; Les Copines d’Abord brings both, with voices that carry, humor that lands, and a celebratory energy that fits our Lyon home like a glove. It is a living, breathing night out—up close, tuned to the present, and perfectly at ease in the embrace of Le Rideau Rouge.
