The story behind the legend
Edith Piaf has just passed away. And she is thoroughly confused. This is not what she wanted. This is not what she had ever envisioned. She was supposed to die in Paris with a priest at her bedside. Not in some backwater. Newly deceased, the confused Piaf encounters four characters. The Angel. The Devil. The Fool. And Death. Then it turns out that her husband, Theo Sarapo, listened to her closely. He called an ambulance and lies to the driver that Edith is asleep. The journey is a long one. Almost a thousand kilometers. Piaf insists to her four life companions that she is not dead as long as she is not in Paris. And as long as she does not know what she is leaving behind. And so, for the duration of the journey to Paris, she is saddled with these four passengers, each of whom has left an indelible mark on her existence. Piaf wants to know where these four were in her life. Through their stories and the unforgettable music of Edith Piaf, the legend relives various important moments in her life to discover who she was and to find out what it is that she leaves behind.
Suzan Seegers is back in her Musical Award-winning role of Edith Piaf.
