FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents a first-time ever NYC concert event featuring the songs from Taking My Turn!

Max & Louie Productions has opened its 10th season with the St. Louis premier of the one-woman show Love, Linda at The Marcelle. Debby Lennon, a member of the St. Louis Symphony Chorus for 31 seasons, plays the elegant Linda Lee Thomas (aka Mrs. Cole Porter), whose devotion to her husband drove much of his career. She, a wealthy divorcee, begins by telling how she mistook a piano-playing Porter for the “hired help” at a wedding reception and invited him to entertain at a dinner party soon after. Despite the blunder, Porter showed up to play and their partnership blossomed.

Max & Louie proudly announce the first show of its tenth sensational season with the St. Louis premiere, "Love, Linda" the one woman musical tour de force about the life of the remarkable Linda Lee Thomas (Mrs. Cole Porter) and her dedication and love for a man whose creative genius she indisputably inspired. Music and Lyrics are by Cole Porter with a book by Stevie Holland, arrangements and additional music by Gary William Friedman.
