[b]No Regrets - The Edith Piaf Story[/b]
This production, based on the life of legendary Parisian singer Edith Piaf, is told through song and story. It will be played in both French and English and is a fascinating and romantic story featuring classic numbers from Edith Piaf's repertoire such as [i]La Vie En Rose, Non Je Ne Regrette Rien[/i] and other classical pieces.

[i]No Regrets[/i] is a tale of passion, tragedy and triumph and you will hear songs from her earliest times as a performer. Originally she was singing on street corners and eventually went on to become the toast of Paris and New York. Her tragic and untimely death was a very sad event and this show is for lovers of all things French.
