The new Show of Gérard Chambre 'Jacqueline Kennedy, la Dame en Rose' (The Lady in Pink) with Gérard Chambre and his celebrated Group: 'Opéra ma non troppo' premiered at the acclaimed 'Festival of Lacoste' in the Summer of 2019 and then beginning October 7 2019, each Monday night at the mytical 'Théâtre Maxim's' rue Royale, 75008 Paris.

Due to Covid-19, it was decided that the musical « JACQUELINE KENNEDY, LA DAME EN ROSE » cannot be presented until further notice...!
What a pity, because the play had a huge success every Monday night....

A Musical Comedy ??!

How can a musical be produced around the most famous woman in the world, whose terrible destiny does not seem, a priori, to be able to arouse the slightest fantasy, and whose story is closer to the Greek tragedy than to the comedy?

How can we tell this incredible odyssey, where death fights against life, where a woman is tossed around by the faults of time and finds herself confronted with terrifying earthquakes against which she must protect her soul at all costs?

Only musical comedy, music and dance allow this volte-face which recounts, in song, the path traced by the gods of the one who chose to ignore it to forge her own destiny.

Comedy, comedy, comedy, ... Life is nothing else than a comedy !

A period of musical splendour and incredible richness, the sixties proved ideal for setting the long odyssey of the "lady in pink" in the form of a musical comedy where the wild, bewitching and all mythical rhythms of the time meet: blues, rock'n' roll, country, and melodies of the crooners... forever imprinted in our minds.

To transform Jacqueline - Jackie - Kennedy's life into a musical comedy is to invite all those who, at her side, have given their voice and talent to shout that life is, and always will be, this insatiable quest for love, with its dangers, its pains, and its dramas.

They will all be there: Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Nina Simone, Marilyn Monroe, la Callas, Simon & Garfunkel, Abba, Elton John, Théodorakis...

All with her, Jacqueline Kennedy, to help her, with their songs to get through her life.

Jacqueline Kennedy, the Lady in Pink,
Musical Comedy,

it is the story, in songs, of a woman who had chosen not to submit to her destiny,

and decided to pursue happiness throughout her life.

Gérard Chambre is happy to take you on board with his group.

Some opinions by the audience ...

Bravo Maestro
Anais Gilbert IS Jackie in a subtle, elegantly played incarnation that is the gravitas in this otherwise over-the-top funny production by Gerard Chambre and his "Opéra ma non troppo" troupe.

The diminutive Fabrice Coccitto provides constant comic relief, especially as Onassis, but the sheer stage power and voice of the extraordinary Opera-trained Veronique Fourcaud will be a treat you'll not soon forget.

Congratulations, Gérard, for the amazing and very funny Show you managed to put around Jackie Kennedy. Congratulations on the development of the very successful sketches and the rewriting of the Songs.

Assisté hier soir à un nouveau spectacle musical au Théâtre chez Maxim's mêlant tragédie et comédie à aller voir pour -entre autre - le talent de Fabrice Coccito (Onassis irrésistible), la voix de Veronique Fourcaud (en Callas et Marilyn déjantees) et bien sûr la mise en scène et l'écriture de Gérard Chambre !!!
