Can I bring my 2-year-old?

No. The Folies Bergère does not admit children under 3, for safety reasons under its house rules, even on a lap.

How early should we arrive?

Doors open 1 hour before the time on your ticket. The theater recommends being in your seat at least 30 minutes before the show to avoid the queues.

Does it follow the movie?

Yes. Shrek's swamp is overrun by fairy-tale characters banished by Lord Farquaad, and to get it back he sets out with Donkey to rescue Princess Fiona from a dragon-guarded tower.

How do we book wheelchair seats?

Bookings for visitors with reduced mobility, and for groups, go through the theater's phone line, 0800 001 650.

About

A new French production of the Broadway musical based on the DreamWorks film, staged by Philippe Hersen for the first film's 25th anniversary. Shrek, Donkey, Fiona, Lord Farquaad and the banished fairy-tale characters are all there, with a pop rock, soul and funk score. Sung and spoken in French, so it suits kids who know the film well enough to follow along, or who speak French.

From €24
