PIAF is Pinky Amador and Pinky Amador is Piaf


PIAF is a dramedy play about a legendary French singer Edith Gassion who despite her huge success worldwide longed for true love and happiness.  Directed by Bobby Garcia based from the works of British playwright Pam Gems, this stageplay was made possible by Atlantis Productions.

PIAF has set a new standard in theater acting with Pinky Amador as the iconic 
La Mome Piaf, she has brought down the house from the opening till the curtains closed. Pinky Amador hypnotizes and charms the audience with her voice flooded with so much emotions. I felt her transformation on her character, from being naïve to struggling start to the peak of her career and even to her remaining days emits power that did not devalued. Her acting was outstanding and the song renditions were so-so powerful that brought tears on my eyes especially on her solos singing Non, je ne regretted rienne, Hymn a l’amour and of course, La Vie en Rose.

I felt I am part of the scene as I was watching her exuding so much love, deep pains and sorrows even if there were no translation made still she was so elegant, graceful and effective.

The entire cast was complimenting with each other and it’s remarkable that one has multiple roles to play, changing costumes right there and then, table and chairs moving every now and then made the show quick and fast-pacing.  It is noteworthy to include the musician who played couple of instrumental French songs that helped set the mood of the audience and the venue prior to the start of the show and I love her performance.

Director Bobby Garcia had made the play smooth and easy to understand with the transition and execution of every scene and Playwright Pam Gems highlighted another part of Piaf’s life, a lifetime friendship with Toine played by Emma Castro. Somehow the shining glory of Piaf were not only focused on alcohol, drugs, men & more men.

If there’s one word to describe PIAF and Pinky Amador, I would definitely say, “STELLAR”. PIAF is Pinky Amador and Pinky Amador is Piaf.
