There’s no one more skilled and passionate about playing Edith Piaf than ALEX RYER. Winner of the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress in a Musical awards from the Denver Drama Critics, Ryer has recently been seen in the smash off Broadway hit, Menopause, the Musical. Her portrayal of Piaf in PURE PIAF is a tribute, not only to Piaf’s music, but to the hard work and research it takes to craft such a powerful character. PURE PIAF is both written and performed by Ryer. "I am continually fascinated by Edith Piaf's life and her music,” says Ryer.
“The audience was aghast, alarmed, and thrilled and so was I. It was almost Piaf’s voice reborn.”
