Click here to view Cabaret KATIE! McGrath interview award-winning vocalist Marilyn Maye, who returns to The Iridium with her trio in a special Valentine’s show, Marilyn Maye—Always from the Heart. The four-day engagement, Thursday, February 14 through Sunday, February 17 celebrates Valentine’s Day with two performances on Thursday, February 14th at 7 pm and 9:30 pm. All other performances play at 8 pm nightly.
Marilyn Maye has been described as a singer and entertainer as well as an actress and comedian—but the word that most of her fans would use is “phenomenon.” She is an unstoppable ball of energy, equal parts of Ella Fitzgerald and Ethel Merman. Maye would be remarkable at any age, but even more so for a woman who just turned 90 and has been entertaining professionally for at least 80 of those years.
Catharine McGrath, who has a new identity as NiteLifeExchange’s “Cabaret Katie,” calls herself “the luckiest woman I know.” In 2016 McGrath began to live her dreams. She’d worked in advertising for 40 years in St. Louis, Chicago and Dallas; at last she was retiring to make a reality the path she’d aways wanted to take: New York City and show business. And so it was that McGrath relocated to The Big Apple and began to study music and singing. “There is such an incredible wealth of people who teach workshops and one-on-one with people like me for singing and performing,” she says. “It’s thrilling.”
Note: 2018 Bistro Award Winner for Best New York Debut, Katie McGrath returns to Don’t Tell Mama (343 W 46th St, NY C, 212-757-0788) with her show, Aunt of the Year, on Saturday, February 16th at 7pm, exploring what it takes to win the coveted Aunt-of-the-Year award, using pop, jazz and soul songs to tell her story.For more information & tickets for Katie McGrath click here
