Rachel York, an acclaimed actress and singer with a stunning 3-octave vocal range, will play Marilyn Monroe in a free staging of a new musical, Me and Miss Monroe, at the AMAS Theatre in NYC this April.
‘ “Me and Miss Monroe” tells the story of Steven, a 16-year-old Bronx High School of Science student in 1962 who inadvertently meets and befriends Marilyn Monroe at the carousel in Central Park as he works on his project for a national science fair. The presentations are part of the ongoing Amas Lab and Workshop Series, a development program for writers, lyricists and composers to develop and advance their new musicals. These four performances are being offered free to the public.’
