Salut les copains, full title Salut les copains: Le Spectacle Musicale is a 2012 French musical comedy written by Pascal Forneri and directed and choreographed by Stéphane Jarny based on the yé-yé generation of music of the period exemplified by the French renowned radio program Salut les copains and the ensuing music magazine of the same title.
In the 1960s, French youth are infatuated with the new yéyé trend of music. Catherine and Michel are in love with each other and what joins them is their love for Idole. The couple live their love affair through music stretching nearly a decade and considered the definitive period of French new pop culture.
