Best Shows of 2013: Martha Wainwright Tribute To Edith Piaf at the Fei & Milton Wong Experimental Theatre, November 2

Two Martha Wainwright sets for the price of one. During the first half of the night, Wainwright exclusively covered "rarer" songs by French national icon Edith Piaf. The second half featured Wainwright's own songs, mixed with some old family songs by her mother and aunt, Kate and Anna McGarrigle, and a few more Piaf songs. Although Andrew Whiteman didn't join Martha this time, Thomas Bartlett, one of the best pianists I've seen, did.
