Edith Piaf tribute coming to Eureka Theater Multitalented Naomi Emmerson brings to life Piaf’s unmatched passion for song, her inspirational story of survival and her unwavering faith in love in this intimate hit that has traveled from Montreal to Manila. Emmerson interprets 14 of Piaf’s most notable songs in their original French language, which is accompanied by Alan Choy’s live acoustic piano. (The play’s dialogue is in English.) Woven among songs are anecdotes of Piaf’s life – her passion for men, music and morphine. Marion Cotillard recently brought a version of Piaf’s life to the screen with an Oscar-winning performance in La Vie an Rose. Piaf: Love Conquers All at the Eureka Theatre, 215 Jackson Street (near Battery), July 7 – August 7. Tickets $25–$36 available at 800-838-3006, www.brownpapertickets.com. Running time 110 minutes. |
