"In the United States, during the Great Depression, a stay-at-home mother dreams of fame and decides to travel across the country with her two daughters – Baby June and Louise – to perform her burlesque numbers. Based on this true story, lyricist Stephen Sondheim – to whom we owe West Side Story – and composer Jule Styne created a masterpiece that was to become the mother of the musical, strangely never performed in France to this day.

If Nancy doesn't go to Broadway, Broadway will come to Nancy. Well-known to opera lovers, the director Laurent Pelly takes on this classic. He surrounds himself for the occasion with a first-rate cast, including in a concert hall format, Natalie Dessay alongside her daughter Neïma Naouri. Humor and emotion guaranteed!"
