Pleasure & Peril, The Story of Zarah Leander- The Siren of The Third Reich

The Swedish actress Zarah Leander was the biggest star in the Third Reich and became Hitler favourite singer when she took the place of Marlene Dietrich. Her films were box-office successes beyond the German borders and her record sales made her millions. Then, in 1943 she faced a choice that would alter her life forever. This sparkling and riveting show portrays a woman torn between artistry and politics; a woman both idolized and hated – who´s now a gay icon in Europe, and who´s songs remain unforgettable to this day.

Pleasure and Peril premiered as part of the celebrated Kabarett Fete in New York City which was awarded a Back Stage Bistro Award. It established Olivia Stevens as one of New York's favorite cabaret artists. She´s performed it to sold-out houses at Carnegie hall, Lincoln Center, Neue Galerie, legendary Algonquin Hotel and other major cabaret rooms in New York. The show was one of the highlights at the Avignon Theatre Festival in France and has played in major theatres in Europe, in three different languages.
