Tango Anyone?

Well, well, well... I thought I had put up my tango shoes. But I was wrong. It is OFFICIAL. I will be tangoing with Anthony Rapp in the RENT! And, if you missed me opposite Adam Pascal in Aida, you can see us on stage together again at the Nederlander as Joanne and Roger who do not interact at all... he he
Tarzan closes July 8th and I will be on stage at RENT July 9th. This will only go until the middle of August, so get on it, get there, give me a jungle yell!
Movie coming up, gig coming up, and so much more...

Love,

Merle

Closure

Hey guys...Yes, the news is true. It was a surprise, but all good thing must....well, you know. Tarzan closing is July 8th @6:30pm. But please keep checking back in the next couple of weeks. I have several things in the works and it stands to be a very busy second half of the year for your beloved monkey mama. I promise this isn't the end. And yes, I WILL still work on the gig very soon.... Much, much love. And many posts to come. But right now, I'm looking to relax for a second. All my love, Merle
