“I’m going to love you”: the musical comedy on Michel Sardou’s hits soon at the musical Seine


A much-awaited show that has already brought joy to some cities in France, the musical “I’m going to love you” is about to take over the great hall of the Seine Musicale, in Boulogne-Billancourt (92).

Unveiled in Lille last fall, this great musical and theatrical show articulated around the hits of Michel Sardou offers a tour of the biggest rooms, before taking up residence on Seguin Island from May 20 to June 19, 2022.

Presented as a “Mamma mia! à la française” by Roberto Ciurleo, co-producer of the show with Franck Montel, “I’m going to love you” plunges, like the tribute show to the ABBA group, into the discography of Michel Sardou. It is therefore not a biopic on the life of the artist with 100 million albums sold that awaits viewers but an original story. A story directed by Quebecer Serge Denoncourt, also author of the booklet, which is based on the greatest hits of the interpreter of “Lacs du Connemara” to tell the story of young people over four decades, between 1960 and 2000, between France and the United States, between love, hope but also disillusion.

Thirty songs in the service of a “saga”

It all starts “on the day of the inauguration of the liner France”, notes Serge Denoncourt. On board six young French people embark for the United States. It is their stories intersecting with that of the history of France – “May 68, the strike on France, the changes of Presidents”, specifies the director – which take shape on stage revealing, over forty years, their trajectories of life to the rhythm of the songs of Michel Sardou.

Thirty titles that Serge Denoncourt has selected from the 267 composed by Michel Sardou to write what he calls “the soundtrack of their existence”. Among them, “Les bals populaires”, “Les lacs du Connemara”, “Being a woman”, “The jazz singer”, “La java de Broadway” or even “Je vole” punctuate the show compared by its author to a “true saga”.

Songs that are interpreted on stage by a band of artists selected by Bruno Berberes, famous casting director of The Voice, who has also officiated for the greatest musicals, from the “Ten Commandments” to “Resist”.

The show, which has received the agreement of Michel Sardou, will therefore be for fifteen dates in Île-de-France. from May 20 to June 19, 2022.
