Warren Schein
Michael Garin & Mardie Millit

Joining Ms. Fitzpatrick will be vocalist and comedian Warren Schein, as the Playboy Club M.C. and the acclaimed vocal duo of Michael Garin & Mardie Millit.

Powerful and entertaining, Memories recalls the not-so-glamorous life of a girl singer in the 1960’s male-dominated environment. “The glamour begins when you walk through the restaurants’ kitchen, holding a satin evening dress while navigating a greasy floor,” Fitzpatrick quipped.

“I wanted to go back in time to my performances at the Detroit Playboy Club. It was a more constrained way of performing. You were ‘just the girl singer.’ You didn’t have permission to talk to the audiences, but it was a great training ground for any up-and-coming performer. The musicians were the best. Your audiences were filled with influential men. You could become a ‘star’ overnight, back in those days. I learned how to sing with musicians whose mood changed as the evening went forward. Great training. I also learned that the dress they MADE me wear was as important to management as was the fact that I could sing! The Club was more about image and fantasy than talent.”
