Gay Marshall to Bring PIAF Back to Metropolitan Room, 4/4

Gay Marshall, who starred as Morales in A Chorus Line on Broadway and at the Zipper Theater's revival of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, enthralled the audience last week at Metropolitan Room with her spectacular and unusual take on Édith Piaf. She returns to the Metropolitan Room with this show on April 4th at 9:30pm.

James Gavin posted: "On Monday night at the Metropolitan Room, wonderful Gay Marshall, who lived and sang in Paris for years but is happily back in New York, celebrated Édith Piaf for the exhilarating and victorious figure she was." These pictures are by Marshall's husband, "Man on Wire" accomplice Jean Louis Blondeau, the reason Marshall remained in Paris for many years after going there to research Piaf. The material in her concert is largely from her Billboard Top World Album , Gay Marshall Sings Piaf la vie l'amour.

Marshall's own English adaptations are featured and the repertoire is an unusual mix of the well known (La Vie en Rose and L'Accordeoniste) and the rare (Avec Ce Soleil and The Lady From Pigalle) with accompaniment by Ross Patterson.
