Théâtre de la Michodière, Art Deco theatre in 2nd arrondissement of Paris, France.
The Théâtre de la Michodière is a theatre building in Paris's 2nd arrondissement with red velvet seating and decorative features designed by Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann. The hall holds around 700 seats spread across multiple levels, creating different vantage points for viewing the stage.
Architect Auguste Bluysen designed the theatre in 1925, originally seating around 800 spectators. Later renovations modified the interior and lowered the capacity to what it holds today.
The theatre has long served as a venue for boulevard comedies, a form of light and humorous entertainment that remains central to its programming. This tradition of comedy continues to shape what audiences experience when they visit today.
The theatre offers valet parking service on performance nights, while the box office stays open until shows begin. Arriving with extra time allows you to soak in the venue before taking your seat.
The company Vente Privée took over the theatre in 2014, bringing fresh management to this long-standing performance space. This change introduced new approaches to how the venue operates today.
