Don't see it if if you know Marilyn or have seen good impersonators. The physical features, wig, costume and sound of voice fall short of the icon.

See it if you are unfamiliar with and want to learn Norma Jean’s romantic biography and emotional arc through songwriting, are nostalgic about Marilyn

Don't see it if you do not like solo, especially solo woman cabaret, shows with lesser talent than Liza Minnelli, sitting in cramped cafe seat 1 hr+,

Also Promising premise. More depth plunge and insight into Marilyn’s emotions and less irrelevant facts would improve impact and interest of the show.... Read more Read less

Also The actress does an adequate job of impersonating Marilyn. The songs are all familiar but since Monroe didn't do her own singing the actress doesn't quite get the voices of those who dubbed her so beautifully.
Still, it is an entertaining 75+minutes.
Most of the audience are Monroe aficionados and love all incarnations of her so they love wherever she shows up.
There is a 2 purchase minimum for food/drinks, but I don't think that the prices are unreasonable for a nightclub setting.... Read more Read less

See it if It wasn’t a great show, the solo singer has a good voice but wasn’t utilized well.

Also The actress does a very sweet impersonation of Marilyn. The show is a bit slow, but it is clever how she switches from Norma Jean to Marilyn to tell the stories of her lovers.
It feels like you've been time warped back to an old 50's nightclub.... Read more Read less
