Piaf!, a play by Pam Gems starring Jane Lapotaire (Tony award for Best Leading Actress in a Play, 1981) and Zoe Wanamaker (Tony nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Play and Drama Desk Award nomination for Outstanding Featured Actress in a Play). In his review in the New York Times, Frank Rich observed, “Miss Lapotaire’s performance burns with such heartstopping intensity that one never questions her right to stand in for the “little sparrow,“ who died at age 47 in 1963; one embraces her instantly and totally“. I have since been informed that this recording is off the original Broadway cast, however the physical production is identical to the original London production.
