This brand new show made its world premiere at the Metropolitan Room in October and is an exploration of what makes a song not just pretty, but beautiful. Singing songs from a wide variety of genres from Broadway, folk, pop, and beyond, the critically acclaimed Maxine Linehan will give audiences a rare hour filled with beauty created from irresistible melodies, with elegant and incisive lyrics. Beauty, of course, is in the eyes (and the ears) of the beholder, so we invite you to come and behold Beautiful Songs.

Maxine made her professional debut with The Irish Operatic Repertory Company at age 17. Notable roles throughout the years have included: Polly in Crazy for You, Nancy in Oliver!, Maria in The Sound of Music, Emma in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Tell Me On A Sunday, Laura in the American premiere of the award winning Irish play The Mushroom Pickers and The Lead Nurse in the first national touring company of Lincoln Centre's TONY award winning South Pacific. Maxine then produced and starred in the critically acclaimed, off-Broadway production of Brontë A Portrait of Charlotte. In 2009 she created and performed a nightclub act as a tribute to Petula Clark, which later led to an independent studio album. Most recently, Maxine performed a sold out run of her solo show An American Journey both at Birdland and at Terminus Recording Studios in Times Square.
