Maybe nights devoted to iconic female singers runs in the Wainwright family. Rufus did Judy and now his sister Martha does Edith Piaf.Whatever. Martha’s voice is a bit scratchy and less operatic than her kin, but it’s a wonderful cognate for the scratchy and vulnerably voice of Piaf.

Bottom Line: La Vie en Rose on the Lower East Side with the worthy heiress of a great musical legacy.
