After "Paris Paradis," Jean-Jacques Debout and Roger Dumas created "Nuit de Paradis" [Night in Paradise] (1979) for Jean-Marie Rivière. Fredéric Botton-who was back with the team again, but assisted this time by Francis Lai (he had temporarily set aside writing film scores) and a very promising young talent, Michel Berger, presented "Paradisiac" (1981).
When Jean-Marie Rivière retired to the West Indies, the watchword was: "the show goes on": this time with "Champagne" in 1984, "Hello Paradis" in 1987, and, lastly, "Viva Paradis," the "Revue du Centenaire" [Centennial Revue].
The latter three revues were co-written and directed by Christian Dura.
May 1995. A few years after his old accomplice Rivière and an artistic life bolstered by six revues performed before an audience of two million theatre-goers during sixteen hundred "Paradise-filled" evenings, Jean Kriegel, in turn, decided to quietly take his leave. Sidney Israel and his son Harold carry on the tradition.
A new era had begun for Paradis Latin.
