READ MORE AND ORDER

Continuing Stage Door's 'Cast Album Masters Series' is the CD debut of the 'Edith Piaf, Je Vous Aime..." Original 1977 London Cast Recording. 

Devised by Canadian performer Libby Morris, 'Edith Piaf, Je Vous Aime...' was a musical revue based around the songs of the legendary French chanteuse. Sung primarily in English, the production featured lyrics specially adapted by American lyricist and poet Fran Landesman (with additional lyrics by Peter Reeves and Ronnie Bridges). Morris, a musical theatre veteran whose credits include 'Gypsy', 'Mame' and 'As Dorothy Parker Parker Once Said' (an original London revue written for her by Sandy Wilson), was inspired to write and produce the revue after seeing Piaf perform on stage in the 1950s.

Directed by Jonathan Heawood, the production opened at London's King's Head Theatre in February 1977 before transferring in June to the West End's Shaftesbury Theatre for a limited season. Following the show's limited London run, Libby Morris took the production to South Africa, Canada and revisited the production for a London revival at the May Fair Theatre in 1990.

Alongside Libby Morris, 'Edith Piaf, Je Vous Aime...' starred Maureen Scott, Peter Reeves and Clifton Todd.

An Original London Cast Album, produced by Norman Newell, was recorded in April 1977. Released as a 2LP set, the 'Edith Piaf, Je Vous Aime...' Original London Cast Album now makes its debuts on CD, digitally remastered from the original Pye Records master tapes.
