…No Regrets was a highly enjoyable evening of very good music.

A Piaf Tribute worth catching.
Juliana June Rasul , Reviewer – Today – 30 March 2007
An excellent night of classy entertainment …the passionate songs, subtle choreography and rich subject matter yield a drama that persists despite its unconventional, minimalist presentation.
Ng Yi-Sheng, Reviewer – The Flying Inkpot Review– 27 march 2007
No Regrets captured the life and songs of Edith Piaf with verve and heart. Under Nathalie Ribette's taut and sensitive direction, the musical legacy of Piaf, as well as the spirit of the times in which she lived, emerged through the vocal range and interpretive dynamism of a wildly talented cast.

A wonderful show…so moving…
Glen Gloei – Movie and Theatre Director - Associate Director of Wild Rice.
…this show was primarily a triumphant compendium of the songs of Piaf, performed by four singer-actresses who treated almost every number as a mini-drama so as to draw the most out of music and lyrics…
Ribette's decision to enlist four performers for this work was a bit of inspiration that deserves a buoyant nod of approval.
Richard Lord – Quarterly Literary Review Singapore – May 2007
A truly moving tribute to Edith Piaf…an excellently staged show with five very different voices, each outstanding and distinguished.
His Excellency Daniel Woker, Ambassador of Switzerland to Singapore.
