  
Piaf! The Show, the show that electrified Broadway, performed by the extraordinary Nathalie Lermitte, arrives in Romania on March 1, 2025.
The event will take place at the Metropolitan Globus Circus. Considered the biggest French-speaking success in the world, the show PIAF! The Show has had more than 600 performances in over 50 countries, exceeding sales of over one million tickets. This is a remarkable achievement for this production that contributes significantly to the promotion of French musical heritage and French-speaking culture throughout the world.
Conceived and directed by Gil Marsala, PIAF! The Show is unanimously considered by Édith Piaf's loved ones to be the most beautiful tribute ever brought to the singer's career and has played to sold-out audiences on the stages of famous theaters around the world, such as Carnegie Hall in New York or Olympia in Paris. From the beginning of her career in 1935 until her death in 1963, Édith Piaf, born Édith Giovanna Gassion, was and remains an iconic figure in the music world.
She is considered France's greatest singer and one of the most famous performers of the 20th century. In 1935, at the age of 20, while singing on the streets of Paris, Piaf was discovered by a nightclub owner. He instilled confidence in the promising performer, gave her the famous pseudonym (La Môme), which would later become part of her stage name, and catapulted her to stardom. She became famous for her remarkable songs such as "La Vie en Rose," "Non, je ne regrette rien," and "Milord." These songs quickly became musical masterpieces and are closely associated with the artist's unmistakable talent and passion. With a voice that moved deeply and lyrics that captured the hearts of listeners, Édith Piaf created music that has stood the test of time.
More than a century after her birth and 60 years after her passing into eternity (October 10, 1963), Edith Piaf's musical legacy lives on. Artists everywhere pay tribute to her by reinterpreting her famous songs. With shows like Piaf! The Show, artists like Nathalie Lermitte bring her life and music to the stage in a way that continues to delight audiences. Alain Delon said of Nathalie Lermitte: "Because she is a great singer and a great actress, she doesn't imitate Piaf... she is Piaf on stage!"
Nathalie Lermitte was born into a family of musicians and started singing at the age of six in her father's band, and at eighteen she released her first album «Tu es tout ce que j'aime», two singles selling over 400,000 copies. On the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of Édith Piaf's death, Gil Marsalla and the company Directo Prod announced an impressive global tour, including no less than 120 concerts. They also received the Million Spectators trophy from the mayor of Nice (France).
Gil Marsalla and Director Prod are delighted to contribute to the preservation of this musical heritage in the world. Piaf! The Show, with the incomparable Nathalie Lermitte in the lead role, is set to reach over 30 countries, including Romania. The show will take place on March 1, 2025 at the Metropolitan Globus Circus in Bucharest. Through Édith Piaf's unforgettable songs, photo projections and carefully selected and unique images of famous Parisian locations from the singer's era, but also with the help of Nathalie Lermitte's undeniable talent, Piaf! The Show takes you through time, on an emotional journey. |
