This performance on Sunday April 10 will be livestreamed at 8pm ET which is 1am in the UK and, sadly, not repeated. But, for once, staying up this late is worth it. Because the artist is Marilyn Maye who is, with a few obvious exceptions, probably the best cabaret singer alive today. And, at 94, she IS alive and still performing.
This spring, the marvellous Marilyn Maye will celebrate her birthday in Broadway’s Living Room with a brand-new show, 94, Of Course There’s More! Known for her powerhouse delivery, electric stage presence, and chatty rapport with the audience, Manhattan’s Queen of Cabaret is thrilled to be returning to Manhattan’s 54/Below cabaret room to share this very special performance with her favourite audiences.
Maye is a consummate entertainer who breathes new life into classics, carrying the torch from her peers who originated tunes of the Great American Songbook to the future generation of singers.
A theatrical legend with the power to “melt the heart of the most hardened cynics” (The New York Times), Put simply, “no entertainer gives you more in terms of great music, great theater, and great comedy” (Opera News). So, if you’re in Europe, or anywhere other than New York, drink a lot of coffee and stay up to watch her.
Are many folks in the UK aware of her?
American make up is a disaster.
