Pollyanna Meets Piaf

This listing is from a previous year.  Search for current listings.

Janice is in crisis. Fortysomething and heartbroken, she clings to her repressed 1950s Pollyannahood, afraid to confront the starker realities faced by her streetwise idol Edith Piaf. But Janice has Piaf’s tenacity. And the same strong ally - the power of song. Laugh and cry as you share her odyssey of loss, grief and renewal, with well-drawn characters, original songs and verse, and Piaf gems. Written by award-winning Australian songwriter Melissa Cloake, this uncompromising, often quirky, and simply unforgettable music theatre will grab you from the first words of the opening song and won’t let you go.
