Award winning Producer Greg Thompson uses Marilyn’s own words to create an emotionally charged script that allows actress Sunny Thompson to re-ignite Marilyn’s flame and breathe life back into the woman and the Immortal Goddess.  

The play is based on one of Marilyn’s last studio shoots. It’s 1962 and as the photographer works, Marilyn begins to truly reveal herself to the camera. An intimate one sided conversation develops as Monroe explores and reflects on her life and her innermost secrets and desires.    

During the two hour show Sunny sings many of the songs that helped to make Marilyn the iconic star that she became. Song’s like “Diamond’s Are a Girl’s Best Friend” and a personal favourite of mine “My Heart Belongs to Daddy” 

I first heard about this production in 2007 and was hoping to see Sunny perform in L.A. but unfortunately it wasn’t to be – since it first began the show has gone from strength to strength winning a vast amount of awards along the way. Many of my ‘Marilyn friends’ have been lucky enough to see the play and have come back with nothing but praise for the show and Sunny’s performance as Marilyn and believe me – these are dedicated Marilyn fans who are, in all truth the hardest theatre goers to please, yet without exception everyone has reported back on how amazing and wonderful the show is, adding that it’s a show not to be missed! 

At last we are able to see for ourselves in U.K. as Marilyn Forever Blonde goes on tour this autumn! The tour dates are listed below:
