FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents Meagan Michelson in Mother Mary Says to Me on April 2nd at 11:30pm. Back from her world tour of Boston, Meagan returns to Feinstein's/54 Below with her hit cabaret, Mother Mary Says to Me, a story about her clumsy quest toward finding the meaning of love and sexuality, translated through her mother Mary's Bostonian, Irish Catholic sensibility. Like a delicate friggin' lotus floating in a pool of Smirnoff, Mary has offered beauty where it's least expected, and Meagan is here to belt about it. Hailed by audiences as "a future gay icon" and a "drag queen with a uterus," Meagan takes the stage alongside the inimitable Matthew Lowy on piano. Musical styles range from the Beatles to Ethel Merman. It'll be wicked pissah.
