Marilyn Maye to Make Special Guest Appearance at BROADWAY UNPLUGGED

It was announced today that the 5th Annual Broadway Unplugged will feature a special guest appearance by the legendary nightclub entertainer that Johnny Carson famously called a "Super Singer" -- Marilyn Maye. On Monday, November 17th at 8 PM the eighty-year old Ms. Maye will once again show just how super she is when she joins an all-star cast to sing from the Broadway songbook totally unmiked in the historic 1,500 seat Town Hall. She will join an already illustrious cast that includes Ashley Brown (Broadway's Mary Poppins), Marc Kudisch (two-time Tony Nominee), Chuck Cooper (Tony Award winner), Matt Cavenaugh (soon to star as Tony in the Broadway revival of West Side Story), Jeff McCarthy (Urinetown), Julia Murney (Wicked), William Michals (South Pacific), Christiane Noll (Jekyll & Hyde), Cheryl Freeman (The Who's Tommy), Lorinda Lisitza (award-winning vocalist), Ron Bohmer (Woman in White), Bill Daugherty (award-winning vocalist), Erin Denman (42nd St), and More!

The concert's creator, writer and host, Scott Siegel said, "I believe this will be the first time that Marilyn Maye has ever performed in a major concert hall without a microphone. Broadway Unplugged has, from the very first, been a unique event in the New York musical theater world, but getting Marilyn Maye on the Town Hall stage to sing a couple of Broadway show tunes the way they were heard in the old days, well, that's going to be quite a treat. Anyone who has heard her these last few years in New York during her consistently sold out nightclub engagements will attest that she remains at the top of her game. After holding the record for the most appearances (76) by a vocalist on the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson, Marilyn Maye is about to take on yet another challenge: singing unplugged at Town Hall at the age of eighty -- and very probably blowing the roof of the place!"

In addition to Ms. Maye, this is the first anouncement that Matt Cavenaugh (Urban Cowboy, A Catered Affair), Cheryl Freeman, who played The Acid Queen in The Who's Tommy on Broadway, and Nightlife Award winner Lorinda Lisitza have joined the cast of Broadway Unplugged. In addition, Erin Denman will lead a small troupe of Broadway gypsys who will also sing and dance unplugged.

Tickets are still available at the Town Hall Box office at 123 West 43rd Street (every day from noon to 6 PM except Sundays) and via TicketMaster: 212-307-4100 and TicketMaster.com. Depression-proof prices are $25, $50, and $75.
