In the years since MARILYN MAYE first appeared in the spotlight as a tiny pre-teen vocalist in a series of amateur contests in Topeka, Kansas, she has received an endless stream of kudos.

The late Johnny Carson called her “Super Singer.” Ella Fitzgerald dubbed her “The greatest white female singer in the world.” The Houston Chronicle termed her “A National Treasure.” And the prestigious Smithsonian Institution chose her recording of “Too Late Now” (from her RCA Lamp Is Low album) for inclusion in its Best Performers of the Best

Compositions of the 20th Century permanent collection, along with such other singing greats as Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland.

"In the opening-night performance of her new show, in which she jazzed up nearly 30 vintage show tunes, her singing was robust even for a woman of 50. Ms. Maye has the remarkable ability to transform upbeat sloganeering into rousing affirmation, infused with such certainty and sense of purpose that she can penetrate the armor and melt the heart of the most hardened cynics." - Stephen Holden, New York Times

Reviewers around the country have simply run out of adjectives to describe the marvelous Maye magic! Wherever she is, if you can get there by plane, train, bus or car, you must go see it for yourself! “She’s at 54 Below in NYC for the next 2 weeks...get there as fast as you can!” - Lynn DiMenna, Cabaret Scenes
