Les Soeurs Cruelles presents Bonsoir Raymond is a musical comedy about two sisters who are brought together when a renowned director invites them to be part of a play that is not their cup of tea. In order to assuage the director, the duo decides to create a show themselves, which neither they nor the director will be able to refuse. With little time, the sisters must let their imaginations run wild; what ensues is comedy, music and song that eventually leads to the creation of a masterpiece.
Isabelle Tanakil is a longtime actress, with experience on stage, film and television. She performed in Frou frou les bains, a musical written by Patrick Haudecoeur, which won the Moliere for Best Musical 2002 award.
