For decades, Marilyn Maye has received an endless stream of kudos. The late Johnny Carson called her "Super Singer." Ella Fitzgerald dubbed her "The greatest white female singer in the world." The Houston Chronicle termed her "A National Treasure."

Add 76 appearances on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson," a Grammy nomination in the mid-60s as Best New Artist, a bevy of awards reflecting her showmanship, and you have an illustrious singing career that is still going strong after a life-time spent entertaining audiences who are now amazed to discover she still exudes the vocal strength and stamina of a singer half her age.

In fact, the Des Moines East High School alum just this year was awarded the MAC Award for Celebrity Artist. Presented by the Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs, The MAC Awards honor the best in live performance, recordings, songs and shows from the past year. Join the energetic and witty Marilyn for a cabaret-style performance featuring Broadway classics and more!

"Marilyn Maye is pretty much every singer you ever wanted to hear: She has the rhythm and the musicianship of a great jazz singer, the projection and personality of a heavyweight Broadway diva and she creates the intimate bond with her audiences."
- Wall Street Journal

"And speaking of Star Power, it was Marilyn Maye, the lady billed as Special Guest of the Evening, who brought along the biggest keg of drama dynamite. She's the performer who got the biggest hand; she was sent out to take a rare second bow. She had the audience at her feet and then ON it's feet."
- Nightlife Exchange, November 2010, NEW YORK POPS AT Carnegie Hall
