Les Franglaises - Tournée

At L'Amphithéâtre 3000: Welcoming Les Franglaises

At L'Amphithéâtre 3000, we are delighted to welcome the irresistible whirlwind that is Les Franglaises, a troupe whose joyous blend of music, theatre, and comedy has become a phenomenon on stages across France. From our vantage point as a venue designed for large-scale, high-precision live performance, we know how perfectly their playful concept blossoms in a room like ours: 3,000 seats, generous sightlines, and a sound design tailored to the dynamic shift from harmony-driven ensemble numbers to mischievous spoken punchlines. The troupe’s signature is as simple as it is brilliant: take English-language hits and render their lyrics in literal French, unveiling new layers of humor while celebrating the original musical power. That idea becomes a full theatrical experience here: multiple performers moving through choreographed vignettes, quick costume and instrument changes, crisp vocal arrangements, and a cheeky rapport with the audience that feels intimate even in a grand hall.

On the Les Franglaises Tournée: a full-throttle stage experience

As part of the Les Franglaises Tournée, the show’s architecture radiates energy across L'Amphithéâtre 3000. The set unfurls like a pop-culture kaleidoscope, swinging from ensemble harmonies to mock-serious narrations, and from pseudo-academic “explanations” to exuberant dance breaks. Their musicianship anchors the comedy: tight grooves and bold harmonies drive the evening, while the literal translations magnify familiar choruses into sparkling theatrical moments. Expect a cavalcade of world-famous titles—think the rhythmic snap of Uptown Funk, the propulsive pulse of Staying Alive, the triumphant arc of I Will Survive, the adrenaline rush of Rolling in the Deep, the slick bounce of Single Ladies, or the operatic sweep of Bohemian Rhapsody—each reimagined through the troupe’s droll linguistic prism. Within our acoustically honed space, those shifts from whisper to wall-of-sound punch land with satisfying clarity. And because the troupe folds game-like interactions, improvised commentary, and call-and-response segments into their staging, our audience’s shared laughter turns into a collective instrument, filling the hall with a lively, participatory atmosphere.

From our perspective as hosts, what makes Les Franglaises especially current is the way they keep refreshing their material and staging without losing the original spark that earned them their devoted following and a Molière distinction for musical theatre. The ensemble’s artistic news is, above all, the living nature of the production: new arrangements pop up alongside fan favorites, choreography is sharpened for bigger rooms, and the dramaturgy remains agile enough to capture both long-time admirers and first-timers. On tour, their calendar is vibrant, their online clips continue to draw in new audiences, and the company’s playful craftsmanship invites listeners to hear global hits with newly tuned ears. At L'Amphithéâtre 3000, we enhance that vitality with carefully mapped lighting looks, swift scene transitions, and a sound image that reveals the finesse of their vocal blend as clearly as the crisp snap of drums and handclaps. The result is a show that feels both meticulously rehearsed and delightfully spontaneous, a perfect match for a venue built to amplify the thrill of live performance while preserving the wit, musicality, and sheer human warmth that make Les Franglaises such an enduring draw.
