I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face
Le Gateau Chocolat, cabaret artiste and opera singer, celebrates the Queen of Sprechgesang and her live performance of I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face.
Le Gateau Chocolat, cabaret artiste and opera singer extraordinaire, celebrates the original Queen of Sprechgesang and her live performance of 'I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face' for the final exploration of Dietrich in song. Written by Lerner and Loewe to be sung by Henry Higgins to Liza Doolittle it was reforged by Dietrich and Burt Bacharach without any change in the pronouns. Writes Le Gateau 'Some might argue that she was preserving the song's integrity, but the reality, of course, is that Marlene was unapologetically queer and never hid it.'
