Becoming Marlene Dietrich

~ The Icon. The Legacy. The Experience ~

Becoming Marlene Dietrich album reviews:

“On Becoming Marlene Dietrich, Myriam Phiro found the sweet spot […] There are frequent, loving echoes of Dietrich, but Phiro brings her own vocal sensibilities and fresh authenticity to each track. […] Phiro is her own artist, not a Dietrich knock off. […] The songs, performed now by Phiro, take on a whole new life. […] she is becoming an artist to watch.” —Tracy Adams, Cabaret Scenes

 
 

After multiple sold out performances rendering her poignant and acclaimed tribute to Edith Piaf « PHIRO chante PIAF », Ms Phiro is offering an exciting new show about an icon referred to as « Queen of the World » the one and only Marlene Dietrich.

Phiro, deemed to be « the perfect re-enactment of a mix between Edith Piaf and Marilyn Monroe; deep, powerful, fun and sexy all at once » by Miguel Dominguez; NYC Culture & Style Magazine, pulls together all of her talents for this spectacular performance. A storyteller at heart, she conveys some of the most dramatic moments of Dietrich’s life and legacy while unveiling some of the diva’s mysteries. The songstress is musically accompanied by her long-tenured trio featuring Hyuna Park (piano & MD), Elias Bailey (upright bass) & Alex Raderman (drums) to render some of Dietrich's greatest hits and lesser-known hidden gems.

Dietrich, a pioneer in asserting a woman’s right to controlling her image and defying social conventions of the 1930’s. She is recognized for denouncing fascism and embodying a uniquely enigmatic sex appeal. Perhaps most fascinating was her courage to demand the respect that women were denied in this time. By gaining the adoration of the American public in spite of challenging conventional moralities with her gender-bending roles, she became the epitome of glamor and a trendsetting style icon. Marlene exhibited an unapologetic control over her career and image while being featured in over 50 films and performing countless cabaret shows in a career lasting over 60 years.
