Edith Piaf has just passed away. And she is utterly confused. This is not what she wanted. This is not what she had ever imagined. She was meant to die in Paris, with a priest by her side — not in some remote place. Then it turns out her husband Theo Sarapo listened closely to her wishes. He calls an ambulance and tells the driver that Edith is simply sleeping. The journey is a long one. Nearly a thousand kilometres.

Just after her death, the bewildered Piaf encounters four figures: the Angel, the Devil, the Fool and Death. Piaf insists to her four companions that she is not dead as long as she has not reached Paris — and as long as she does not know what she leaves behind. And so, for the duration of the journey to Paris, she is stuck with these four passengers, each of whom has left an indelible mark on her life. Through their stories and the unforgettable music of Edith Piaf, the legend relives key moments of her life to discover who she truly was — and what it is she leaves behind.

Suzan Seegers returns to her Musical Award‑winning role as Edith Piaf.
