Will it work for a kid who doesn't speak French?

The story is told through French dialogue and songs, so a kid who follows French gets far more from it.

Where can we hear the songs before going?

Zélie la Pirate started as two musical books, sold as book-CDs, and the audio is on all the streaming platforms.

Aurélie Cabrel co-wrote it and directs it with Fanny Dupin. Juliette Lefebvre plays Zélie.

What you need to know

Second Paris run: its first residency, at Le Grand Point Virgule, drew nearly 10,000 people.
Laughs for grown-ups too: pitched as a show little ones love that also gets the adults laughing.
Songs to learn first: the story began as two musical books, so kids can know the tunes before the show.

About

Zélie la Pirate is a musical about a spirited girl who wants to become a pirate, even though her father says no. Aboard the ship Aramacao she sails with a colorful crew: her "nanny" Barbemolle, her loyal friend Hashtag and the mysterious Charles. Expect original songs, lively dance numbers, plenty of gags and some visual magic. It's sung and spoken in French, so it suits kids who follow French.
