The ultimate, incredible, exotic, sexy, sensual and hilarious Eartha Kitt. She epitomized the idea of a sex-kitten chanteuse rising to fame with her throaty purr of a voice and wrecked more damage on men’s hearts with a single glance than today’s pop tarts can with their entire bodies.
Pascal recreates the legendary singer with her personality, voice and available attributes ‘I’m not Kitt, but I could pretend’. An evening of sassy fun, harmless coquetry, resilience, survival and laughter. Pascal growls, purrs, her voice is fire and ice. She is endearing and very funny. Her eyelashes works overtime, they don’t sing, they speak a thousand words and milk a thousand laughs. The ageless Pascal commands the stage, pulling cabaret from the brink of camp.
From the opening number ‘if you like me, you’d better show it ‘. The mood is set with a cornucopia of reminders ‘give me a frank account, how is your bank account ?’. She alternates, diva, confident with her voice and comedienne attributes. She brings perfect comic timing to classics like ‘ I wanna be evil’, ‘charleston’, ‘how could you believe me’, ‘champagne taste’, ‘an Englishman needs time’, ‘old fashioned girl’, ‘my heart belongs to daddy’. Those songs are mostly familiar to kitt fans with high spots including ’darling, je vous aime beaucoup’, ‘ santa baby’ where is my man and c’est si bon.
The show is playfully tongue-in-cheek, but Pascal brings the deeper side too, with real heartbreak and despair to songs like, ‘guess who I saw today’, ‘the touch’, a sentimental ‘when the world was young’ and a powerhouse rendition of Eric Carmen’s “all by myself’. The night ends with a sincere version of ‘Here’s to life’.
A class act. A high octane performance. A show not to be missed!
