We are thrilled to have one of the greatest nightclub singers of all time – Marilyn Maye – perform at Mr Finn’s Cabaret.
Rex Reed says it all: “Marilyn Maye has everything. She can belt, she can sing ballads with the kind of warmth that makes your heart smile. She has theatrical flair that captivates and enthralls, and jazz-spiced chops that can reach notes most singers a third her age can’t even hit in their dreams. She’s the real deal, the surviving artist of the American popular singer.”
