About the Show

A sensual and fun-loving one-woman tribute performance celebrating the iconic ingenue and the loves of her life.

From the show:

Marilyn Monroe was the ultimate romantic. Lovers come and go in this musical journey "With Love, Marilyn,"

This show pays homage to the many loves and romances in the life of Monroe, in a what-if scenario of performing in Las Vegas - fulfilling a wish that sadly Monroe never got to do

This performance will feature the talents of Alexandra Muscaro portraying Monroe - performing your favorite songs - such as "I Wanna Be Loved By You," "My Heart Belongs To Daddy", and "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend," while weaving the love stories behind the many men in Monroe's life. The show features new arrangements by Henry Aronson, one of Broadway's finest musical directors ("Rock of Ages," "Tommy")

"With Love, Marilyn" will transport you back in time in an intimate behind-the-scenes evening with the immortal goddess you know and love, as she prepares to entertain you.

Banal, Entertaining, Great singing, Slow, Disappointing

See it if you want a brief biographical review of Marilyn's romantic relationships interspersed with a dozen of the songs she is known for, sung well.

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.

Insipid, Disappointing, Fluffy, Banal, Ambitious

See it if Mediocre Impression of an icon at best.

Don't see it if Just skip it!

Banal, Disappointing, Insipid, Slow, Great singing

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+, Read more

Disappointing

See it if you have no serious expectations about Marilyn's biography. Promising performance which has little support from the production.

Don't see it if you love Marilyn but feel offended by lack of drama which was central in her life. Bad direction and a superficial story-line annoy you.

Fluffy, Great writing, Entertaining

See it if You are a fan of Marilyn and remember some of her music.

Don't see it if You like musicals performed by more than one actor

Hard to score, Fluffy, Indulgent, Ambitious

See it if You are a Marilyn Monroe's fan. It's hard to impersonate such an iconic person. It's very easy to be perceived overdoing it. Not so bad 😉

Don't see it if You couldn't care less about the actress. Read more

Fluffy, Entertaining

See it if you are a Marilyn Monroe fan

Don't see it if you didn't like Marilyn Read more

Indulgent, Disappointing, Insipid

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

Don't see it if Sitting in a cramp space, watching a so-so show, and have to pay minimum Two Items food + drinks is not a good way to spend your 90 min time
