BWW Review: SUNNY THOMPSON Sparkles Brightly as MARILYN MONROE
Come an hour early to the El Portal Theatre and take a peak inside the lovely small Marilyn Monroe Theatre lobby, adjacent to the Mainstage and peruse the myriad of photos adorning the walls. They represent a delicious collection of candids of the iconic star. Then proceed on in to the Mainstage playing area for the 8 o'clock show ... you will gasp when Sunny Thompson comes on stage in character as MM. You first see her naked on a bed wrapped in silk sheets ...in live photographic implosions as the camera clicks away. The likeness will astound you.
BWW Review: Sunny Thompson Brings the Iconic Star Back to Life in MARILYN: FOREVER BLONDE
Like many from my generation, our love of screen icon Marilyn Monroe made her a star and continues to keep the flame of her incredibly hot sexual appeal alive. And while I have seen several performers take on the role. The amazing Sunny Thompson fully embodies the heart and soul, not just the heat and breathy voice we associate with the woman who encapsulated what a woman was supposed to look like long before the Kardasians were even born. Sunny Thompson truly embodies her look and voice, and seemingly channels the tortured, playful soul of Hollywood's greatest star.

Marilyn wiggles, flirts, giggles and quips her way right into your heart in MARILYN: FOREVER BLONDE. In this one woman show with more drinking than an O'Neill play, Sunny Thompson, playing Marilyn, takes us on a trip through Monroe's life of sex, storybook romances (if you judge a book by its cover), sho-biz pain and real-life tragedy.

Don Grigware Announces His Best in LA Theatre for 2012
The choices I have made are based solely on the plays and performances that I actually saw. I cannot see all the great talent that is out there in LA; it is physically impossible, as there exist far too many theatre/cabaret performances for one person to cover. So if a choice of yours is not on my list, chances are, I did not see that play or performance...or, it just did not make the final cut. I also do not separate Equity from Equity waiver; I consider all the productions/performances I select to be of top-of-the-line quality/professionalism.
