Our Review:

In Shaftesbury Avenue where star names above the marquee are part of the furniture, it’s a show biz coup to have got Edith Piaf, Marlene Dietrich and Judy Garland all on the same bill. Well, not quite. No need for any prima donna strops over who gets the star dressing room here. In Divas, Danish choreographer Peter Schaufuss propels his international troupe through a three-part homage to this long-departed trio of 20th-century show biz icons, each section combining a clutch of their legendary recordings with his own contemporary dance routines.
Concept-wise, the end result sometimes goes a dance step too far. You could, for instance, close your eyes through much of the opening Piaf section – “Non, je ne regrette rien” and “La vie en rose”, “Milord” and so on accompanied by hints of Montmarte, the Can-Can and louche apache dance – and just sit back and wonder at this tiny woman’s massive powerhouse vocals, scratchily recorded in a pre-digital age.
