The Three Musketeers Musical

Le Dome de Paris

29th September 2016 – 1st January 2017

Be whisked away to 17th century Paris this September with exciting live performances, awe-inspiring back-drops and cutting-edge technical effects at musical ‘Les 3 Mousquetaires’. From the end of the month until the beginning of January, the world-famous quote ‘one for all, all for one!’ will echo around the walls of the Palais de Sports, located just a 10 minute walk from our hotel. Boasting an outstanding production team and line-up of actors, this modern take on a classic story will offer an unforgettable night out during a stay in Paris.

The story will follow d’Artagnan as he arrives in Paris and joins forces with King Louis XIII’s three musketeers; Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Watch as the sword-wielding team battle with Cardinal Richelieu and his allies including Milady de Winter to save the honour of Anne, the Queen of France. Actor and singer Damien Sargue is set to play Aramis and may be recognisable from 2013’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’. Meanwhile, Athos will be played by the show’s multi-talented artistic consultant Brahim Zaibat.

The show’s renowned production team consists of Roberto Ciurleo, Gilbert and Nicole Coullier, and Eleanor De Galard; whose musical ‘Robin Hood’ attracted an audience of 800,000. The directors René Richard Cyr and Dominic Champagne are both award-winning and internationally-admired artists from Québec, while set designer Stéphane Roy has previously worked on the Cirque du Soleil.

The impressive line-up continues with choreographer Yaman Okur, who has worked with Madonna, while the show was written by songwriter Lionel Florence, and lyricist and novelist Patrice Guirao, who has written for the likes of Celine Dion. With gallantry and treachery equally abound, ‘Les 3 Mousquetaires’ is set to deliver an outstanding and toe-tapping evening of entertainment this September. Looking forward to seeing the four musketeers in their capes, boots and trademark hats from just 39€.

Whether you’re planning your dream wedding day or looking for a unique evening out, there’ll be an exciting event on offer during a September stay at Median Paris Porte de Versailles.
