Everyone says « I love you »! Made in Broadway. With an impressive vocal technique, Laetitia Ayrès succeeds to bring together Broadway and its myths in a vaulted cellar of the Marais. Accompanied by Alexandre Javaud at the piano, she sings, dances, tap dances, inviting on stage Judy Garland, Julie Andrews, Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli and Audrey Hepburn. In the audience, the desire to hum and clap hands quickly becomes contagious…
Lot’s of sincerity and enthusiasm in this musical show about Hollywood and Broadway : sometimes mischievous, sometimes sardonic, always endearing, Laetitia Ayrès plays the card of standup (accompanied by an impeccable pianist) and tells with exuberance her stories on the theme « I wish my life as a singer were a musical ». The down and up tempo songs enhance her medium voice and her remarquable diction.
From Follies to Yentl, A Chorus Line and Cabaret, the songs of the show are tremendously performed by Laetitia Ayrès. Special mention to the beautiful interpretations of Memory (Cats) and I Hate Men (Kiss me, Kate). (....) What a pleasure to listen beautiful versions of Sondheim’s tunes such as Losing my mind or Being Alive…
