After a briskly paced half-hour on the treadmills at their health club, Nina Crugnola, 80, and her husband Tony, 79, are a little flushed. So before heading off for phase two of their workout--the weight machines--they take a moment to wipe away the sweat, adjust their headsets and instruct a fellow septuagenarian on how to use a hip abductor.

On a good night, a sweat-drenched Luchini will return after the curtain calls and launch into a so-called prolongation - an improvised monologue in which he extols Céline's genius, chides people for coughing during his performance, mimics President Jacques Chirac (who attended one of the first performances), and even mocks himself about being...
