An unforgettable tribute to the legendary French singer, Edith Piaf, Piaf! The Show tells her incredible story through her timeless songs, stunning scenography, and never-before-seen images. Nathalie Lermitte brings Piaf to life in a seminal role of her career, capturing the essence of the iconic singer. Part concert, part show, Piaf! The Show was conceived and directed by Gil Marsalla a Nice-based producer and lover of French musical culture. 

Piaf is a legendary French icon, singer, lyricist and actress affectionately called ‘la Môme Piaf’’ (‘’The Little Sparrow). Her music is often autobiographical, specializing in chanson réaliste and torch songs.  Her most widely known songs include “La Vie en rose”, “Non, je ne regrette rien”, “Hymne à l’amour”), “Milord”, “La Foule”, “L’Accordéoniste”, and “Padam, padam…”. 

Lermitte joined the Piaf show in 2017 after years of singing and acting with numerous roles in musicals, including Starmania as Cristal at the Théâtre Marigny in Paris. She then played the role of the Queen in the play La petite fille aux allumettes, nominated for the Molières.
