Cabaret

After a day of protests, Concerts for America presented a star-studded program at historic Cooper Union to be broadcast July 8.

The Paris-based nude cabaret show visits Singapore.

Refreshingly, the show doesn't focus on the tragic side of Édith Piaf's biography. It's nice to be reminded that her career was a deserved triumph, that sometimes popular audiences recognize greatness while the great one is alive to appreciate it.

Falling in love is euphoria and terror. There is no other way to achieve its beauty and hope.

All through the generous, smart, funny show, carefully crafted yet emotionally authentic, with Marshall sang songs by Jacques Brel and made famous by Edith Piaf, living the songs, and letting us live them – and live her love affair with Paris – too.

'Edith Piaf is unique, singular. If you try to imitate or mimic Piaf? It’s not possible. But if Anne tries to fulfill Edith Piaf with her soul, she can reach people because she is herself.'

The four artists discuss the show and the tour - and compare food and wine notes from France and the U.S.

"We are at the stage that we are ready for Broadway. We have promotional videos and I am thinking that we might be on stage on Broadway for five or six months."

There is only one Edith Piaf.
