Varla Jean Merman Loves a Foreign Tongue! is filled with love and laughter, delivered at the tender hands of the superbly talented Jeffery Roberson as the eponomous Varla Jean Merman.
The surprises included an intimate dance number featuring conjoined twins exchanging deep-tongued kisses, the head of Joni Mitchell and a new installment of the ever popular, "Don't Eat Out, Varla Jean!" series. (the first episode featured Sal Minelli, a very raw chicken whose bacteria drove it to mean ends)
As she takes us on a trip around the world, Varla Jean reminds us that it is filled with wonder.
Hurry, while there's still time, to book tickets for Varla Jean Merman's upcoming engagement at a chic, upscale venue near you! (http://www.varlaonline.com/upcoming.html)
It's a triumph of a show that could only be overwhelmed by the closing of another cabaret icon.
The Plush Room survived prohibition, Charles Pierce, Lypsinka, and Lainie Kazan, but they were only talented bumps in the road of entertainment that lead, ultimately, to Jeffery Roberson and Jacques Lamarre's outrageously entertaining and engagingly integrated evening of multimedia cabaret performance.
The intimacy of the Plush Room complements the depth of Varla's turn of phrase, as the audience leans in to relish every somewhat sibilant syllable.
Our all-encompassing beneficent memory about this much-loved venue is crowned by Jeffery Roberson's Varla Jean giving us a feast of foreign flavors.
There were no programs handed out on opening night, but Varla Jean's website lists the credits. Mark Cortale, the silver-throated tenor who can fit in my pocket any time, treated us to a romantic duet with Miss Merman.
Fans of Varla Jean Merman will go wild for this new show. Newcomers who are lucky enough to have friends who are already fans and who bought them tickets in advance will be new fans. Those who only just heard about Varla Jean Merman, check for an upcoming performance at a chic transformational venue near you.
