The Marilyn Tapes Extended Through July 18th

By: BWW News Desk Jun. 26, 2005

The Marilyn Tapes, Lenore Zann's critically-acclaimed portrayal of Marilyn Monroe, will be extended through July 18th at Don't Tell Mama.

As described in a press statement, "Actress/writer Lenore Zann has dazzled audiences throughout her native Canada with her recreation of legendary screen goddess Marilyn Monroe. The Marilyn Tapes traces the evolution of an icon, from 16-year-old Norma Jean Baker to Playboy's first centerfold to Hollywood's most enduring celebrity, as popular in death as in her lifetime. Set in a rat-pack era jazz club, Zann's evocative portrayal of the innocent Norma Jean Baker and her alter ego Marilyn chronicles Monroe's meteoric rise through songs and stories. Acclaimed singer / songwriter / pianist David Raleigh plays Billy, her musical director with original songs by Cliff Jones, presented by ALCHIMIA Productions and LZ Productions "

Monroe, of course, was the blonde bombshell whose combination of sensuality and vulnerability lit up the screen in such films as The Seven Year Itch, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Bus Stop and The Misfits. Tragically dead at the age of 36, Monroe's troubled but legendary life has inspired films, TV shows, books and even Broadway musicals (1983's Marilyn: an American Fable).

The Marilyn Tapes will be performed on Sunday, June 26th at 9 pm, Sunday, July 10th at 8 pm, Monday, July 11th at 9 pm and Monday, July 18th at 9 pm.

Don't Tell Mama is located at 343 W. 46th St. in Restaurant Row.
