Stage Entertainment

What Stage Entertainment does

Stage Entertainment France is a privately held French société par actions simplifiée (SAS) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Dutch holding company Stage Entertainment B.V. The company operates the Théâtre Mogador, a historic theater venue in the 9th arrondissement of Paris (23–25 rue de Mogador, headquarters at 23 rue de Mogador). Its primary business is the production and operation of Disney's "Le Roi Lion" (The Lion King) musical, which has been performed continuously at Théâtre Mogador since 2007, achieving the milestone of over 2 million cumulative spectators at the venue and winning 3 Molière Awards in 2008 including Best Musical. The production is performed in French with South African dialects, featuring Julie Taymor's signature theatrical direction combining masks, puppets, large-scale scenic imagery, and a full live orchestra performing the score by Elton John, Tim Rice, and Hans Zimmer.

The company monetizes attendance through a diversified revenue model built around the flagship show: tiered ticket sales (4 seating categories) sold via direct website, telephone, physical box office, and authorized resellers; customizable gift cards (Bons Cadeaux up to €100 face value); Wonderbox Connect gift boxes (€74.90 for 1 place, €149.90 for 2 places); bundled ticket-plus-hotel packages with 500+ partner hotels targeting tourists; VIP and VIP+ backstage experiences; corporate and group hospitality packages (Cocktail & Show, Tea & Show); venue privatization; school group bookings with pedagogical guides; CSE/corporate group rates (15+ tickets); discounted rates for students, large families, and unemployed individuals; on-site bars and restaurants; and parking partnerships with Indigo Neo. Marketing is conducted through social media (Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram), email/newsletter, content marketing, paid digital advertising via partner media sponsors (TF1, Allocin é, Nostalgie, BFM TV), and earned press coverage in major French media outlets.

Beyond Le Roi Lion, Stage Entertainment France increasingly programs secondary events at Théâtre Mogador — including L'écran Pop dance parties, Rêves de Gosses concerts, a Daniel Levi tribute concert, and Pietragalla Barbara performances — leveraging venue capacity outside the flagship show schedule. The company operates with a small core team (11–50 employees) and is led by President Laurent Bentata, with dedicated commercial, events, and group sales functions staffed by named personnel including Maud Chapel (Head of Events), Florian Lamy, Rachel Gousseau, Robin Jerome, Kalilou Hassa, and Raphaelle Liot. Core partnerships include TF1 (media, core), Wonderbox Connect (reseller, core), CIC (banking), Coca-Cola and Danone (refreshments/beverages), Indigo Neo (parking), and technology/production suppliers (Sono Vente, Maqpro, Raphaël Perrier, TPA).
