Gay Marshall to Perform Concert at the Zipper, 3/22

Gay Marshall, who recently starred in the recent long running hit revival of Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris returns to the Zipper Factory on Thursday, March 22, 2007.  Singing an eclectic array of songs with the accent on Piaf and Brel, Ms. Marshall, accompanied by the outstanding trio of musicians from Brel, describes the pros and cons of living on both sides of the ocean and the challenge of trying to fit in with the French in excerpts from her one woman show "If I Were Me".

Gay Marshall made her Broadway debut as Diana Morales in A Chorus Line. Her one woman show Piaf: La Vie l'Amour played in the States and took her to Paris where she played Grizabella in the original French production of Cats. Living in Europe inspired her to write If I Were Me, a comedy that she performed in Paris and took to the Edinburgh Festival where it was voted #2 on the Fringe. In Paris she has appeared in many English speaking plays and French musicals with Roger Louret at the Follies Bergere, and the original version of Camille Claudel in the title role. She now performs regularly in America, most recently in Jacques Brel . . .  at The Zipper (for which she received a nomination for the Drama League's Distinguished Performance Award) and Capital Rep, and as Denise in both Goodspeed and Paper Mill's productions of The Baker's Wife.

The Zipper, a renovated zipper factory, is a theatre and tavern that has featured theatrical productions, special events, comedy and live music since the theatre opened in 2001.
