For the past 120 years, La R’vue genevoise, has been one of the most popular satirical plays in Geneva, currently attracting over 20,000 spectators each year.
Held in the beautiful Casino-Théâtre in Carouge, La R’vue genevoise features the political, economical and social highlights of the past year on a local, national and international basis, through sketches, songs and various choreographies. This year, the show opened on Saturday, 2 November, and will continue through until Tuesday, 31 December.
For the first time in history, this emblematic theater play will be performed in English, broadening its appeal yet further to the English-speaking community of Geneva. There will be three English shows in total, one on Friday 13 December at 20h00 and two on Saturday 14 December at 14h30 and 20h00. (Editor's update: Saturday 14h30 performance has now been cancelled).
To bring this special version of the show to our community, fellow writers and producers, Philippe Cohen and Gaspard Boesch, founders of the acclaimed Confiture Company in Geneva, have been working closely with Majbritt Byskov-Bridges and Steve Ash, both comedians and singers, who perform regularly with GAOS, the Geneva Amateur Operatic Society.
