About the Show…
PURE PIAF is intimate and interactive with minimal set requirements. Presenting 16 world famous songs in less than 80 minutes, PURE PIAF sweeps audiences through a fast paced, satisfying evening, performed brilliantly by stellar songstress Alex Ryer. The most important message of PURE PIAF comes from Piaf herself, "Without love, your life is empty. So, first of all in your life, fall in love."
The poignant and familiar Piaf repertoire is fully realized for six instruments plus accordion, or plays beautifully with piano and accordion. The script maintains flexibility for cabaret or theatrical venues. The strength of this show comes from Piaf’s life experiences played out on stage. One audience member who had seen Piaf perform several times commented, “When [Ryer] sings, she ‘becomes’ Piaf.”
We invite you to experience PURE PIAF, the life and music of Edith Piaf. This dynamic new musical is available for U.S. and international engagements. Contact Pure Piaf for booking information.
