  • Last summer, Melissa Errico and Isabelle Georges introduced their joyous musical partnership to Paris, first on a national broadcast on France Musique, followed by a raucous success at Le Bal Blomet, the premier cabaret of Paris. They added four sold-out nights at Birdland Jazz Club in New York City this February, and now the two “tall” & “leading” ladies — sexy, witty, and utterly musical — make their London debut!

    As Michel Legrand’s double French & American muses — they both starred in his only musical comedy, which dazzled in Paris with Isabelle, then went to Broadway with Melissa — they share his melodic and swinging songs, as well as more from French cinema, the American songbook, and even new originals by Broadway great Marc Shaiman.

    Expect Isabelle’s brilliant music hall dancing and playful harmonies on Broadway classics — and Melissa’s passionate rendition of Hymne de L’Amour by Edith Piaf. A rare trans-Atlantic friendship that is dazzling audiences!

    “The pair perfectly complement each other thanks to Georges having a superb range and, at times, operatic voice, which seamlessly harmonizes with Errico’s dulcet soprano. They inject a Parisian flavour with a program including Legrand’s Jumelles, and You Must Believe in Spring”. — London Theatre Magazine.

    “In the tradition of Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett, these twin sisters of Michel Legrand’s musical comedies offer a high-coloured musical night, lofted up by the joy of their complicity.” – Radio France.

    “Melissa & Isabelle are a musical match made in heaven, offering a show of energy, wit, and mischief.”—Remy Batteault, film director.
