Zizi Jeanmaire - Mon Truc En Plumes

Zizi in all her glory!

Zizi Jeanmaire is truly a living legend. She's regarded as one of the most beloved Parisian entertainers and is equally at home in musicals as well as ballet and the concert stage.

This compilation comprises many of Zizi's greatest hits including "Mon Truc en Plumes" (My Thing with Feathers) that has become her trademark (the number was especially choreographed for her by husband Roland Petit, and was first introduced in her 'Casino de Paris' show in the mid-70's).

Zizi also belts out "Dis donc, Dis-donc" and "Irma la Douce" from the IRMA LA DOUCE score as well as other numbers like "La Gambille", "Paris Boheme", "La Java", "Charleston" and "Il Nous Faut des Chansons".

Zizi made her Broadway musical debut in 1954's THE GIRL IN PINK TIGHTS which was Sigmund Romberg's last completed score. She later impressed in Hollywood with a role in ANYTHING GOES (starring opposite Bing Crosby). Zizi returned to Paris and married longtime love Roland Petit, who has been her partner in life and art. In the 1970's Petit bought the Casino de Paris and staged 2 revues starring Zizi that ran for almost two years. In the 80's Zizi continued to exhibit her diversity, starring as La Mome Pistache in a Broadway revival of CAN-CAN. Other triumphs followed, and one of Zizi's most celebrated triumphs to date has been her 1995 revue 'Zizi au Zenith'.
