Photo Coverage: All-Star Cast Honors The Great Edith Piaf at 54 Below  Image

54 Below presented EDITH PIAF: An All-Star Centennial Celebration, performed by award-winning Broadway and nightclub Stars, and it was produced, written, and hosted by New York impresario Scott Siegel, who has created more than 100 major concerts in venues such as Town Hall and Jazz at Lincoln Center. He has produced, written, and directed for Michael Feinstein, and he is the creator/writer/host of the critically acclaimed Broadway by the Year series at Town Hall (now in its 15th season). Featuring performances by: Carole J. Bufford, Maxine Linehan, Gay Marshall, Molly Pope, Marni Rice and more. Music Direction by Ross Patterson. Check out photos from the evening below!

Edith Piaf was more than the greatest female entertainer France ever produced; she was one of the 20th Century's most famous female singers - an international star! She was also the embodiment of passion - of love, loss, and unquenchable spirit. Piaf left behind a legacy of hit songs that will be performed in her honor at 54 Below by some of New York's most acclaimed performers.

Come hear and experience the searing power and towering passion of Piaf's greatest hits such as "Non, je ne regrette rien" (1960), "Hymne à l'amour" (1949), "Milord" (1959), "La Foule" (1957), "L'Accordeioniste"(1955), "Padam ... Padam ..." (1951), and, of course, "La Vie en Rose" (1946), among many others. Imagine, she was born exactly one week after Frank Sinatra came into this world. What a week that was.
