Monica Bellucci, ‘Call My Agent’ Creators Ready Cabaret Comedy ‘Ça C’est Paris’
Monica Bellucci to play herself in burlesque series rich with musical numbers and celebrity cameos.
Commissioned by France Television, the crowd-pleasing series comes courtesy of Mon Voisin Productions and director Marc Fitoussi, two of the key drivers behind international breakout “Call My Agent!.” While the wavering heir decides whether or not to make a clean break by selling his historic theater to a supermarket chain, “Ça C’est Paris” will also track the chaotic lives and loves of the cabaret’s troupe, from the high-kicking dancers to the stage managers, costume designers and animal wranglers that ensure that each night offers a show to remember. Launching out of Series Mania’s French competition, “A Dangerous Friendship” recreates the court of Louis XIII — and the fraught relationship between Anne of Austria and her chief courtier, Marie de Rohan-Montbazon — by emphasizing the historical figures’ sheer youth.
