Cabaret with a twist starts at 8 pm. This Madame Arthur ticket strings together a weekly cabaret show and then pulls you into the club, all built around French music. I especially like that the performers revisit the French musical repertoire with piano and live singing, so it feels like a real music night, not just a spectacle.

My only real heads-up is seating. If you do not choose VIP, it can be standing room for long stretches, which can get tiring.

Your entry ticket covers the whole evening flow at Madame Arthur, from the main show through the later performances and club hours, with multiple rooms and bars once the dance part starts.

Key things to know before you go

Paris : Madame Arthur Cabaret Show & Club Entry Ticket - Key things to know before you go

  • Weekly show that changes: expect a different program each week, not the same rerun
  • French songs with live piano: comedy and singing are tied to the music, in French
  • More than one stage act: you get extra programmed shows before the club takes over
  • Club time includes 3 rooms and 5 bars: you can hop around and keep going late
  • Language is not everything: humor lands through timing, audience reactions, and performance energy
  • VIP helps if standing hurts: standing room is the big trade-off if you skip VIP seats

Madame Arthur: A Paris cabaret night with a full schedule

Paris : Madame Arthur Cabaret Show & Club Entry Ticket - Madame Arthur: A Paris cabaret night with a full schedule
Madame Arthur is one of those places where the night has momentum. You’re not just buying a seat for a single performance—you’re buying into an evening that starts as cabaret and then turns into a dance club, with staged acts in between.

What makes it interesting is the way the performers treat French music like their shared playground. The show mixes comedy, singing, and dancing, and the artists work from a French repertoire using piano and live vocals, so you can follow the vibe even if you don’t speak much French.

The result is theatrical in the cabaret sense: bold outfits, big personalities, and plenty of cheek. Reviews point out that the humor can still work for English speakers, even when you miss bits of what’s said between acts.

Ticket value: why $44 can be a good deal for a long night

Paris : Madame Arthur Cabaret Show & Club Entry Ticket - Ticket value: why $44 can be a good deal for a long night
At around $44 per person, the value depends on what you want from the evening. If you’re only looking for a quick show, you might feel like you’re paying for extra time you could skip. But if you’re after a full night out—music, comedy, and then actual club dancing—this ticket is built for that.

Here’s what you get access to in one admission:

  • The main Madame Arthur weekly cabaret show
  • A second, more intimate segment later in the night
  • A third stage act called Who sings ? by GuiguiPop (on Thursday to Saturday)
  • Club time after midnight with multiple rooms and bars
  • No included drinks, but you can buy them on site

That lineup matters because it gives you options. If one section isn’t your favorite, you’re not stuck there forever. And when you’re ready to switch gears, the night naturally shifts from stage performance to club mode.

Thursday to Saturday: the evening timeline that keeps you moving

Paris : Madame Arthur Cabaret Show & Club Entry Ticket - Thursday to Saturday: the evening timeline that keeps you moving
Thursday through Saturday has the longer, bigger-night schedule. The venue doors open at 8:00 pm, and then the show blocks start.

From 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm, you’ll catch the Madame Arthur weekly show. This is the main event: a mix of musicians, singers, and comedians, all coming together through cabaret and song in French. The big idea is that each week brings a brand new show, which keeps repeat visits interesting.

At 10:30 pm to 11:30 pm, there’s Who sings ? by GuiguiPop. This is another performance slot, separate from the main show, and it adds variety in tone and energy.

Then from 11:00 pm to midnight, you have Tour de chant, a second show described as more intimist. It’s essentially a carte blanche moment for the artists, which often means a different feel than the big main production. Even if your French is limited, you’ll usually be able to latch onto the pacing, vocals, and audience response.

After midnight (00:00), the club takes over until the end of the night. The club part is built for dancing: French music remixed by resident DJs, plus 3 rooms and 5 bars. If you like wandering and not feeling stuck in one spot all night, this format is great.

Practical note: since any exit is definitive, plan to stay. If you leave, you’re done for the evening.

Sunday: a shorter run, still plenty of music

Sunday’s schedule is simpler and earlier. The doors open at 7:00 pm, and the weekly Madame Arthur show runs from 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

Then from 9:30 pm to 10:00 pm, Tour de chant takes over for the more intimist segment. After that window, the schedule information provided doesn’t mention additional club programming, so Sunday feels more like a concentrated show night than a full club sprint.

If you want a cabaret night without going deep into the late hours, Sunday fits the bill.

What you’ll actually see: comedy, singing, dancing, and drag elements

The core of the experience is a performance that blends genres. You’ll see singing and dancing, but you’ll also see comedians and stage business designed to get laughter and reactions fast.

A key detail: the artists revisit the French repertoire with piano and live singing. That matters because you’re not only watching people perform; you’re hearing French songs treated like living material. The piano grounding gives the show structure, while the performers add personality and humor on top.

One of the strongest themes from the feedback is surprise. People expected something like a standard drag show, but got something closer to performance art with drag elements mixed in—still fun, still bold, but also smart in how it puts together characters and music.

Another highlight: some of the big musical moments can feel like tributes, and one review called out a Queen tribute sung in French. Even when you don’t understand between-act banter, the atmosphere and crowd reactions help you catch the jokes.

English-speaking visitors aren’t locked out. The show is still French, but the performance energy does a lot of the translation work.

The club portion: when stage lights turn into dance-floor lights

Once the club portion starts, the vibe changes from seated show to night out. The description is clear: come dance to Frenchie music remixed by resident DJs, and expect 3 rooms and 5 bars.

This setup is practical. If one room gets too loud or you want a different sound, you can move. And with multiple bars, you’re less likely to get stuck waiting in one line for the entire night.

Keep expectations realistic: this is a club environment. Even if you came for the show, plan on being around loud music and lots of movement during the late hours.

Seats, standing, and the VIP choice that can save your night

Paris : Madame Arthur Cabaret Show & Club Entry Ticket - Seats, standing, and the VIP choice that can save your night
Seating is the main comfort question. One piece of advice stands out: buy VIP seats if standing room only isn’t your thing. The venue can be standing-heavy if you do not have VIP, and even an amazing show can feel long when your legs are tired.

So think about your personal stamina before you choose. If you’re comfortable standing for performances and dancing afterward, standard entry may be fine. If you want a more comfortable viewing angle for the stage acts, VIP can be worth the extra cost.

Even if you buy VIP, the night still includes moving through different segments. Wear shoes you can handle for a long evening.

Drinks, coat check, and simple rules that shape the experience

Paris : Madame Arthur Cabaret Show & Club Entry Ticket - Drinks, coat check, and simple rules that shape the experience
Not included: drinks. You can purchase them on site. Also not included: coat check is available for an extra cost. If you’re going in colder months, factor in the cost and the time you’ll spend dealing with your outerwear.

There are also house rules:

  • Alcohol and drugs are not allowed
  • Baby carriages are not allowed
  • The experience is not suitable for children under 12

These rules matter because they help shape the crowd and the atmosphere. It’s meant to be an adult-oriented cabaret and club night.

Another rule: any exit is definitive. That affects your planning. If you think you might need to step out and then return, this is not the right setup.

Accessibility and practical logistics you’ll want to plan around

Paris : Madame Arthur Cabaret Show & Club Entry Ticket - Accessibility and practical logistics you’ll want to plan around
This experience is listed as wheelchair accessible, which is a big plus if you need that option.

Duration is listed as 10 hours, but the schedule shows a specific sequence of door time and stage blocks. Starting times vary, so you should expect the night to run long, especially Thursday to Saturday when the club goes past midnight until the end.

For entry, you’ll show your ticket to staff at Madame Arthur. The activity ends back at the meeting point, and you’ll be done after your exit since leaving is final.

Who this is best for (and who should think twice)

This ticket is a strong fit if you want:

  • A French-themed cabaret evening with singing, comedy, and dancing
  • Live piano and live vocals tied to a French repertoire
  • A full night out, not just a one-hour show
  • The option to keep going in the club with multiple rooms and bars

It can be a weaker fit if:

  • You want something quiet and early
  • You dislike standing for performances
  • You need a strictly family-friendly venue (it’s not suitable under 12)
  • You’re hoping for an alcohol-included night (drinks are for purchase and alcohol is not allowed)

Language doesn’t fully determine enjoyment here. The show is in French, but the humor and crowd energy help with understanding. Still, if you prefer shows where you can follow every spoken line, you’ll need to accept that some parts may pass you by.

Should you book Madame Arthur Cabaret and Club?

I’d book this if you want a real Paris-style night out that mixes live French music, comedy, and a club that runs late. For the price, the value is strongest when you treat it as a whole evening: main show, extra programmed acts, and then club time with room-hopping.

Skip it only if comfort is your top priority and standing will ruin the experience, or if you want a short evening. If standing is a concern, plan on choosing VIP seats so you can actually enjoy the show instead of counting minutes.

One more simple tip: since your exit is definitive, commit to staying for the club portion if that’s what you came for. This place is built to keep the night going, so go with that mindset and you’ll have a much better time.
