ABOUT MARILYN
Marilyn Maye is the definition of a living cabaret legend—an artist whose entire life has been devoted to the craft of song and performance. Dubbed “the greatest white female singer in the world” by Ella Fitzgerald, Maye is a celebrated singer, actress, director, arranger, educator, and GRAMMY-nominated recording artist whose presence turns a show into a true event.
A theatrical dynamo with the power to “melt the heart of the most hardened cynics” (The New York Times), Maye is the rare consummate entertainer who can deliver a knockout ballad, land a laugh, and make the room feel like it’s in on the history. She breathes new life into the Great American Songbook, carrying the torch from the artists who originated these classics to the next generation of singers. Put simply, “no entertainer gives you more in terms of great music, great theater, and great comedy” (Opera News).
Her legend extends far beyond the cabaret room. Dubbed the “Super Singer” by Johnny Carson, Maye holds the record for the most guest appearances by a singer on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson—76 performances that cemented her place in American music history. The Houston Chronicle has called her “a national treasure,” and the Smithsonian Institution selected her recording of “Too Late Now” for its permanent collection of the Best Compositions of the 20th Century.
In this intimate evening, Maye will perform selections from the Great American Songbook and share anecdotes from her extraordinary career. And she’s not slowing down—Blue Engine Records recently released her first album in a decade, The Magic of Marilyn Maye: Live at Jazz at Lincoln Center, available now on major streaming platforms.
