GEEK to GLAM at Greenroom42 Cabaret

Straight from the funny & musical mouth of Nu Yorican comedic actress, writer, and singer Marlene Villafane of the Upper West Side comes a cabaret blazing with heart, humor, and high drama. She revisits her anxiety-filled childhood in New York City—storming the corner bodega and finding late-night salvation in television—where studying the brilliance of icons became her secret rehearsal for greatness. With wickedly sharp impressions and character songs in English intertwined with swooning Spanish boleros, she turns fear into fire and nostalgia into knockout entertainment.

Featuring Stephen her fearless pianist, who banters and blazes alongside her, this is a love letter to the characters who helped save her, her deep spiritual outlook and a triumphant declaration: I am here. I am hilarious. I am moving. Like a phoenix in heels—she rises.

Featuring Pianist, Stephen Cornine
