Hanna Burke to Pay Tribute to Madeline Kahn at The Metropolitan Room

By:

Hanna Burke presents "Why is Everyone Laughing?" A Tribute to MADELINE KAHN. "Why is everyone laughing?" was a question that Madeline Kahn often asked her co-stars, crew members, and audiences. To us, she was one of the greatest comediennes of her time, yet throughout her career getting a laugh was often a surprise.

Join Hanna Burke and friends as we pay tribute to great talent that was Madeline Kahn. Madeline was a brilliant, actress, singer, and comedienne who left us much too soon. She is known mostly for her film roles in "What's Up, Doc?", "Paper Moon", "Blazing Saddles", "Young Frankenstein" and "Clue". The evening will feature songs and stories from her film and stage career, as well as her personal life.

Also featuring the recently released biography "Madeline Kahn: Being the Music - A Life" written by William V. Madison.

Copies of "Madeline Kahn: Being the Music - A Life" will be sold and signed by the author after each performance!

PERFORMANCES:

Friday, June 24th at 7pm - Don't Tell Mama in the Brick Room

Sunday, July 17th at 9:30pm - The Metropolitan Room

TICKETS:

$15 ONLINE

$20 AT THE DOOR

***Proceeds from the performances will be donated to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund in honor of Madeline Kahn.
