-FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-
ALL-FRENCH CABARET COMES TO NEW HOPE
AT THE
ICONIC, FRENCH-BAROQUE-STYLED
MANSION INN
NEW HOPE, PA (1/30/2017) –The Mansion Inn announces a new, complimentary addition to their entertainment schedule through spring 2017, “Le Cabaret Francais,” an all-French music-and-humor show presented and performed by Bucks County musician Barry Peterson. With its classic 1800’s French-Baroque architecture, Peterson’s show is sure to culturally inspire, entertain and engage a great many Francophiles who live in Bucks, Hunterdon and Mercer. “Le Cabaret François” opens Wednesday February 8th, 7:45pm at the Mansion Inn, 9 So. Main St., New Hope. Reservations recommended, 267-740-7153.
In a twist, the repertoire will be divided between 20th-century classics by Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour and others, and Peterson’s new translations of American classics of all kinds such as “That’s Life” (“C’est Yue Ye La Vie”), “All Shook Up” (“Bouleverse”), “My Way” (“A Ma Maniere”) “Words of Love” (“Des Mots d’Amour”) and eight others. “Everything coming out of the mic will be French,” says Peterson, a solo guitarist and singer-songwriter, “so I’m hustling to get my vocabulary back! Guests attending will find lyric books on the tables to sing along while brushing up on their Francais over a glass of gros rouge, a ragout and some immortal French songs.”
Peterson adds, “As winter turns to spring we want to pass the spotlight to guest performers, especially students, who have a song to perform, a poem by Baudelaire to recite, a passage from “Cyrano,” or whatever else that’s ‘good and Gallic.’ And one we’re up and running, we’ll also have a little segment about PHI’s or ‘particularly hilarious idioms.’ If you’re a fan of French language, you’ll be chez toi, right at home. Amusons-nous!”
