Histoire
editInaugurated in 1901 under the name Comédie-Royale, the venue is dedicated to humour and particularly to plays belonging to the boulevard genre. In 1923, René Rocher gave its current name to the place.
In February 1958 the Theatre became Théâtre d'essai de la chanson. Pierre Dac and Francis Blanche played in the Chipolata 58 show [1]
The famous play Boeing-Boeing by Marc Camoletti was premiered in this theatre on 10 December 1960 and performed here until 1980 before it was moved to the théâtre Michel. Since then, it has been performed about everywhere in the world [2]
