They say—in both friendships, and relationships—that opposites attract.
It is the end of the Second World War. Édith Piaf, the French chanteuse known for her raw and emotional ballads, meets fiery Marlene Dietrich, the German actress and singer who took Hollywood by storm. Dietrich recognizes Piaf's talent and takes her under her wing, for the world has yet to see the greatness she has to offer. Can their friendship thrive amidst the chaos of fame, politics, romance, and clashing personalities?
PIAF/DIETRICH is a musical drama about the real-life unlikely friendship of icons Édith Piaf and Marlene Dietrich, featuring timeless hits such as “La vie en rose”, “Milord”, and “Lili Marlene”.
