Show History

TONE POET PRODUCTIONS was created in Toronto, Canada in 2005 to present the production Piaf: Love Conquers All at The Toronto Fringe Festival. The show was awarded “Top 10 Patron's Pick”. The production then toured Ontario and Quebec in the summer of 2006 to great success.  The Company presented the show in New York City in 2007 as part of the FringeNYC winning “Outstanding Musical”. It was then chosen to present at the Fringe Encore Series (Best of The FringeNYC). The Production had its first commercial Off-Broadway run at the SoHo Playhouse for a limited 10 week engagement in 2007-2008, and then traveled to Charleston SC, Teaneck NJ and then to Manila in the Philippines. It had a successful two week run at Centaur Theatre in Montreal then toured through British Columbia in the summer of 2009 ending up at Theatre Lac Brome in Knowlton QC.  A two week run in Ottawa rounded off 2009, and in 2010 the production was presented by Easterfront Theatre as part of the Supernova Theater Festival in Halifax NB, then it off to The Eureka Theater in San Francisco CA, for a 4 week run.  More recently, Naomi Emmerson presented Piaf in Las Vegas at The Winchester Cultural Center in celebration of Piaf's Centenary. Emmerson has performed the piece over 200 times.
