An American Girl in Paris, WORLD WAR II

The World War II era is filled with poignant, passionate ballads. Some of the best of American and English tandards join the evocative chansons of Edith Piaf and Marlene Dietrich in this colorful, poignant program, which continues to tour in the 2006 season.

“Many years ago, I was drafted into the army and stationed in France. I have forgotten so much over the years, but one of the things that I remember are the misty cabaret clubs in Paris, where I loved to go for refuge. Tonight, Daphne took me back there, to all of those years ago, and I was eighteen again.”
