Make Me French at Laurie Beechman Theatre

A bagel who dreamed of being a croissant, young Matt Rosenstein longed for a life that was far more sophisticated and interesting than his own as a suburban teenager in the 1990s. His one prayer? “Make Me French!” Matt was determined to not just LEARN French but to BE as French as possible – going so far as to call Air France from payphones, just to practice speaking with a real, live French person! Finally, he moved to Paris to fulfill his dream - but not without learning some hilarious lessons along the way.

Now, this singer and storyteller extraordinaire wants to share what he’s learned about our most misunderstood ally, through stories and songs - from Broadway showtunes to French disco. Featuring a four-piece band and backup singers, come discover the answers to burning questions such as “Why do French people not get fat? Are they rude? Do they hate Americans?”
