Oh Là Là! From Paris to Broadway!

From Paris to Broadway

The show
Féline and Fantastique, the eclectic cabaret French star Isabelle Georges premieres in New York with her critically acclaimed Oh Là Là! Her trademark soaring vocals, theatrical delivery and a stunning all-star band, lead you on a passionate journey featuring classic French repertoire including the music of Aznavour, Bécaud, Brel, Piaf and Cole Porter… along with her recent original compositions. With her long-time accomplice, Frederik Steenbrink, and three musicians, Isabelle Georges tells us stories of love, survival and dreams, composing a tender, madcap tour de chant, an unbeatable blend of jazz and pop, a true “Personality Show” in the tradition of artists like Judy Garland or Shirley MacLaine…

Unclassifiable!
Since 2005, I’ve been creating musical shows that mix text, music, dance and languages, which often earns me the label of “unclassifiable” – so much the better ! I’ve never been attracted by the extreme simplification that lies behind labels.
Whether it’s to bring the composer Norbert Glanzberg out of oblivion (Padam Padam), to share my madeleine that is musical comedy (Broadway en Chanté) or to celebrate love when everyone’s talking about war (Amour Amor), my shows have one thing in common: to transcend everyday life, to fight against discrimination, in music and with humor, as much as possible. Oh La La ! was born of the irrepressible need to take on the unclassifiable, by mixing the musics, languages and rhythms that have been with me since childhood, regardless of anyone’s approval!
