MARILYN MAYE
APRIL 9-12, 14, & 16-20, & MAY 2, 5, & 6, 2024
Join Marilyn Maye for her annual birthday bash at 54 Below! Every performance during this run will feature a special 96th birthday celebration for this beloved cabaret legend.
A timeless icon who has been entertaining audiences for over eight decades, Manhattan’s Queen of Cabaret is thrilled to be returning to her home away from home—and her favorite audiences—for this very special birthday.
A theatrical dynamo with the power to “melt the heart of the most hardened cynics” (The New York Times), 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. Put simply, “no entertainer gives you more in terms of great music, great theater, and great comedy” (Opera News).
Music Opener:
“Get Me to the Church on Time”
Marilyn Maye: Meet Marvelous Marilyn Maye – The Lamp Is Low
Music Closer:
“Before the Parade Passes By”
Marilyn Maye Sings All of Jerry Herman’s “Hello, Dolly!”
