Louise Pitre, the Canadian-born 2002 Tony Award nominee for her performance as Donna Sheridan in Mamma Mia!, has several concerts planned in her homeland to celebrate its 150th anniversary this year.
April 6â€�8: From Paris to Broadway at the National Arts Centre in the capital, Ottawa, Ontario, accompanied by the National Arts Centre Orchestra with Jack Everly at the podium. Pitre told °ëµºÌåÓý that she will sing:
“I Don’t Want To Know� from Dear World
“The Fools Who Dream� from La La Land
“Folies Bergeres� from Nine
“La Vie En Rose�
“Non Je Ne Regrette Rien�
“I Love Paris� from Can-Can

May 7 and 17: An Evening in Celebration of Wonderful Women Pitre will continue serenading her homeland in a concert planned for May 7 at the Ritz Carlton, Toronto, which she will repeat May 17 at the Casa Loma, also in Toronto.
October 17â€�29: The Times They Are A-Changinâ€� This is the working title for a show Pitre’s husband, W. Joseph Matheson, and she were asked to create for the Harold Green Jewish Theatre at the Toronto Centre for the Performing Arts. She told °ëµºÌåÓý, “We are currently putting the song list together. It promises to be a very different and sobering exercise. Protest songs from the '60s seem to be having a rather apropos ring to them in these present troubling times.â€�
Pitre said that she has several other projects that she expects to announce on in the weeks to come.
Pitre was a special guest performer on °ëµºÌåÓý’s Broadway on the High Seas 8 cruise to the Caribbean in February 2017. °ëµºÌåÓý’s inaugural river cruise along the Rhône River in May 2017 is sold out, but cabins are available for the Rhine River cruise in August 2017, featuring , , , , Charlotte d’Amboise, and Santino Fontana.
