The live music show «Formidable! Aznavour», dedicated to Charles Aznavour, will be presented in the US for the first time. According to The Armenian Weekly, the show has previously had great success in France and other countries. It was created and produced by the creators of the musical «Piaf! The Show», Directo Productions, and is presented by the Cherry Orchard Festival. The program includes Aznavour's well-known songs: «La Bohème», «Formidable!», «She», «Yesterday When I Was Young» and others. These are four of the 800 songs written and performed by Aznavour that were also performed by world-class singers, including Frank Sinatra. During the tour, the show will be presented in Seattle, Los Angeles, Miami, Houston and Boston, while in New York there will be two performances: at the Oceana Theater in Brooklyn and at Town Hall.
