Book, Music and Lyrics by Gregg Opelka

Composer-lyricist of Soup Du Jour, our Second Stage hit of 2002

 

 

October 4 – November 15, 2009
Second Stage - 1420 Maple, Evanston, IL

 

In 1950s Paris, Dominique and Fatiguée - two fading chanteuses - eke out a meager existence, forced to perform the songs of their archrival, the legendary Edith Piaf.  Then one hilarious night, they take over the cabaret to give the show of their lives, with their own songs!

 

Numbers like The Boys of Days Gone By, You've Got to Be a Waif and Toujours, but Not Today pay tribute to the chanson and all things French.  Tongue-in-cheek, romantic and witty.


                                                                   

"Full of charm and period "oo-la-la" ...capturing that ever-light, ever-sassy Parisian style."

-Chicago Tribune

 

 

Recommended for ages 12 and older.
