Surprise birthday at the Bodin’s : an audience of celebrities to celebrate Christian’s 50th birthday
Christian will be 50 years old. And such a milestone is worth celebrating! Problem: the future fifty-year-old categorically refuses to celebrate this event. And for good reason, every time he celebrates it, there is a disaster. But Maria, her cantankerous mother with a loud voice, decided otherwise. After consulting a clairvoyant (played by Élodie Poux), she is certain that a party must be organized to break this curse. On their farm, at the butcher’s, the doctor’s, or at the driving school, mother and son have one comical adventure. It must be said that they have a lot of help, since the cast is made up of television personalities. When Christian goes to undergo the famous (and dreaded) prostate exam, it is Michel Drucker who welcomes him in a white coat, amusing himself by not retiring and having Johnny’s appendix on formalin. Hallyday. Chantal Ladesou plays Maria’s good friends, Booder, a suitor (the only one in fact) of Love is in the meadowJarry, a driving instructor who tries to help Christian obtain his license after five failures. Frédéric Bouraly and Gil Alma of Household scenes are also in the mix, while Kev Adams is a Tinder match who got a bit of a dud…
What is the show worth? Surprise birthday at the Bodin’s ?
In addition to the personalities who jostle to appear on the screen, this play’s strong point is its rhythm without downtime. The sketches on the stage are interspersed with cinematographic passages filmed in different locations. Which allows the Bodin’s to leave the stage without having to change the decor. Pleasant and surprising parentheses which serve as a common thread for the plot. And if Maria shouts a lot, Surprise birthday at the Bodin’s also offers musical moments. Also, Claudio Capéo and Gilbert Montagné agreed to take part in this surprise celebration. Christophe Willem is also there and sings during Christian’s fiftieth birthday dinner, just like the trio from Trois Cafés gourmands. Others appear as the evening progresses, but we won’t tell you everything! Because if these festivities are a surprise for Christian, they are above all for the public. The Bodin’s duo concocted a tasty cocktail to ensure viewers a lively evening full of laughter. So yes, it’s a bit long. But during the two hours of the show, Vincent Dubois and Jean-Christian Fraiscinet surpass themselves and redouble their imagination, to the great happiness of those who love them!
