It’s
hard to say which is the greater pleasure: Spending an evening with
Maurice
Chevalier, or spending it with Tony Sandler.
Luckily, we don’t have to decide, since we get both at once with equal
savoir
faire.
Elevated by Tony Sandler’s
performance, this surprising biography follows Maurice Chevalier on a roller
coaster ride that transforms a savvy street urchin into an international
legend adored by royalty and commoner alike. Resilient and driven
by his responsibility to cheer up his public in a world torn by one world
war and then another, this beloved French icon risks all to carry out his
mission with an immitigable spirit of hope and
joie de vivre. Maurice
& Me is elegant, an uplifting tribute to one man’s odyssey
of survival, courage, love, and nobility of purpose.
This story heads through
the back roads of explosive 20th Century history, and astounds even those
familiar with Chevalier. But at another level, Maurice
& Me is an episodic character study. And oh, what a character.
Chevalier – Maurice
& Me is sure-fire entertainment served with saucy humor and
French élan. Tony weaves Maurice’s story with anecdotes,
intrigue, and song, with all the skills of a seasoned troubadour. Chevalier’s
hit songs (along with some delightful unknowns) enrich the story, sometimes
with innuendo, always with love: for women, for Paris, and for life.
Oh, c’est magnifique, how Maurice reminds us that passion burns
eternally in a flame of many hues.
Bolstered by a four-piece
instrumental ensemble, the music is fun, fresh and sensuous. Tony
is at his peak, his continental charm disarming and his voice delicious.
