MYRIAM PHIRO
“Becoming Marlene Dietrich” – Album Release Concert
*Livestream Available*
After sold-out performances at Joe’s Pub and Birdland rendering her acclaimed tribute to Edith Piaf, Myriam Phiro celebrates the release of her new album Becoming Marlene Dietrich. Dietrich was a pioneer in asserting a woman’s right to controlling her image and defying social conventions of the 1930s. By gaining the adoration of the American public in spite of challenging conventional moralities with her gender-bending roles, she became the epitome of glamor and a trendsetting style icon. Marlene exhibited an unapologetic control over her career and image while being featured in over 50 films and performing countless cabaret shows in a career lasting over 60 years. Becoming Marlene Dietrich tells Dietrich’s fascinating story through her greatest hits. Phiro is ecstatic about combining elements of Piaf and Dietrich’s time period and exploring the rumored scandalous relationship between the two. Phiro was deemed to be “the perfect re-enactment of a mix between Edith Piaf and Marilyn Monroe; deep, powerful, fun and sexy all at once” by NYC Culture & Style Magazine. A storyteller at heart, she will convey some of the most dramatic moments of Dietrich’s life and legacy while unveiling some of the diva’s mysteries.
