Elena Roger plays Edith Piaf at Teatro Liceo


The original production of Pam Gem's 1978 bio-play "Piaf", acclaimed in London's Donmar Warehouse returns to Buenos Aires.
The play that was a hit success among London's public and critics, and for which her protagonist, Argentine actress Elena Roger was awarded the Lawrence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a musical, will run from July 28, 2023, at Teatro Liceo de Buenos Aires.
Edith Piaf, regarded as France's greatest popular singer, was born in Paris in December 1915. After a short, sad and tragic life scarred by abandonment, drink and drugs addiction, Edith Piaf died of liver cancer on 10 October 1963. She is best remembered for her song classics including “La vie en rose”, “Milord”, “Hyme a l’amour” and “Non, je ne regretted rien”, which are sung in this stage show.
In this new production of Piaf, Pam Gems has reworked her 1978 play capturing the rise and fall of this complex, fragile and enigmatic performer.
Elena Roger plays Edith Piaf. Her other theatre works in the UK include Evita and Boeing, Boeing. In her native Buenos Aires, Elena Roger’s credits include the original productions of Nine, Beauty and the Beast, Les Miserables and Saturday Night Fever. In 2003 Elena Roger and director Valeria Ambrosio devised "Mina, che cosa sei". This musical, based on the life of the Italian singer, won five awards including the ACE (Critics’ Award) for Best Actress for Elena.
The Argentine version of Piaf is presented in Spanish, with original songs in French.
