So QUEERGURU called her in San Francisco where she got her first big break in the legendary queer Tranny Shack Original to find out what we can all expect from her performance this week.
The Season may be coming to an end here in #Ptown but its not totally quiet yet especially in the East End as Miss Richfield 1981 IS STILL HERE. She has just TWO SHOWS LEFT and if you are thinking of going to see her then jog down to the Pilgrim House NOW. We were there on Saturday and is was not only SOLD OUT but they had to turn away about 20 people seeking tickets.
We talked with the Star earlier this summer ……well actually she talked to us!!! Never one lost for words watch this hilarious interview which was such a joy to film.
Besides being a legendary singer whose many claims include 76 appearances singing on The Johnny Carson Show etc. Marilyn Maye has wormed her way into the hearts of the entire population of Provincetown..
For the past 9 years she has headlined the Broadway at the Art House Series in a week of sold out shows that have become a highlight of the Season. This fabulous feisty nonagenarian with her unceasing energy wows the crowd that are drawn to her remarkable talent for making every single song come so alive. She always has us totally eating out of her hands.
We can totally understand why the late great Ella Fitzgerald called Marilyn Maye :the greatest white female singer in the world..
This year her show was all songs about LOVE as she shared her passion for both love and life , particularly when it is PTown. For the past 5 years QUEERGURU has had the privilege of interviewing Miss Maye and its become a big highlight for us too.
