Moi aussi je suis Barbara ★★★★★
Au Studio Hébertot, Paris
A star is born: the Parisian audience rediscovers the Magnetic, Tall, Dark Lady. There is so much more to Paris than Awful Emily… the ever-so-talented Pauline Chagne, in Moi aussi je suis Barbara, pays tribute and embodies the iconic French chanteuse. In this musical show, carefully crafted by Pierre Notte and herself, and soberly and cleverly directed by the tall, dark, and handsome Jean-Charles Mouveaux, Mademoiselle Chagne leaves behind her dysfunctional family – brilliantly interpreted by her fellow actors – where everyone invents a solution to escape a maddening present and embodies her childhood icon. This is no biopic and Pauline Chagne truly becomes Barbara. The show has received glowing reviews from the French media and Pauline has been rightfully nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Molières (French Theatre Awards). The Parisians most beautiful love story is Barbara… Not to be missed if you come to Paris within the next few weeks… And please take Emily back home with you!
Review: Richard Gilles (Paris) is slightly past his prime, but still a vivacious true Parisian spirit. He has worked as a journalist in the spheres of the arts and luxury for the last few decades and is now the happy correspondent for QueerGuru in the City of Lights.
