Review: 

 Yes, Marilyn Maye has been around for a while, but her energy and strong voice with impeccable timing and musicality is ageless. Although most of the songs in her Metropolitan Room set, "Her Kind of Broadway," are familiar, she is such a magnetic performer in strong inner contact with her audience as she fills the room with vocal imagery, that the songs are new and fresh.

A lovely trio, Todd Firth (piano), Tom Hubbard (bass) and Ray Marchica (drums), are under her lifting her and helping her fly.

This Broadway song set is heartwarming, and musically just lovely - a polished, delightful cabaret show. It's a privilege and a joy to experience a performer of this caliber; this is as good as it gets. Long may she wave!
