4 May 2011 – 14 May 2011 @ DBS Arts Centre

Synopsis

Discover the magical story of Edith Piaf, the most celebrated French music icon of all time in No Regrets, a Tribute to Edith Piaf.

A musical revue paying homage to Piaf’s extraordinary life, it features a stellar cast of performers including established theatre talents Hossan LeongRobin GohDenise Tan and Angela Scundi.

This cabaret-inspired performance showcases a repertoire of 22 songs, among them classics such as La vie en rose, No Regrets and The Three Bells. Hosted and narrated by Hossan Leong, the revue takes the audience on a musical journey through Edith Piaf’s Paris and the events that marked her life. From her troubled childhood to her meteoric rise as a singing sensation, through her many love affairs and emotional struggles, she triumphed to become the highest paid singer in the world. Through various songs, each performer portrays a different aspect of Piaf’s life, showing a woman of both great strength and frailty.

“Despite the hardships that she had gone through, Edith Piaf had a remarkable zeal for life. She famously remarked that she had no regrets about her life. Tragedy only seemed to push her to even greater heights. It is this passion that we salute and pay tribute to and we thought it fitting to celebrate our 5th anniversary in this spirit” explains Nathalie RIBETTE, founder of SING’THEATRE as well as Director and Producer of the revue.

No Regrets: A Tribute to Edith Piaf (2011), Review
Classy, soulful and poignant– this Edith Piaf-inspired production was high quality entertainment with a wide appeal. Director Nathalie Ribette once again brought a talented line-up to the Singapore stage and was astute in allocating songs that brought out the best in them. Backed up by superb playing from musical director Elaine Chan's ensemble, Piaf's classics like  Milord, La Vie en Rose and Hymn to Love were sung with great sincerity by Denise Tan, Angela Scundi and Hilde
