Tone Poet Productions

This intimate New York Off-Broadway hit that has traveled from Montreal to Manila, presents the life and loves of the legendary French singer who stood only 4'10" and who's voice shattered the world with a passion that cried from the heart. Come share a cocktail with an icon, as she shares anecdotes of her passion for men, music and morphine. "Emmerson delivers a true tour de force performance - truly a theatrical force to be reckoned with" nytheatre.com. Songs such as La Vie En Rose, Milord and Non, Je ne Regrette Rien are presented in French (text in English) and are beautifully supported by live piano.
