The York Theatre Company is presenting a one-night-only benefit concert evening starring special guest Marilyn Maye on Monday, May 16 at 7:30 PM at The York’s temporary home, The Theatre at St. Jean’s. The performance is followed by a light buffet supper and special VIP reception with Maye. Music director for the concert is Tedd Firth.
The Manhattan Queen of Cabaret, the “Marvelous Marilyn Maye,” is a singer, actress, director, arranger, educator and Grammy-nominated recording artist. She is known for her powerhouse delivery, electric stage presence, and chatty rapport with the audience. In her long career, she’s appeared a record 76 times on “The Tonight Show” starring Johnny Carson, and was “discovered” by Steve Allen, who presented her to his national television audience, which led to an RCA recording contract, seven albums and 34 singles. Maye was recently highlighted on “CBS Sunday Morning” with Mo Rocca, a feature that was an outstanding tribute to her career and talent. Her place in American music history was assured when the Arts Council of the Smithsonian Institution selected one of her recordings, “Too Late Now” for their album of the 110 Best American Compositions of the Twentieth Century.
VIP Tickets are priced at $200 (includes show and reception). For additional information or to make a reservation, please call the Box Office at (212) 935-5820, Tuesday–Friday 12:00PM–5:00PM, or via email at boxoffice@yorktheatre.org. or go to www.yorktheatre.org.
