Marianne Challis

Marianne Challis is an audience-wowing combination of a sophisticated chanteuse and a rib-tickling comedian. The refreshing and irreverent cabaret star, who is the vocal coach for numerous Broadway stars, performs an eclectic mix of musical favorites from songwriters such as Irving Berlin, Jule Styne, Julie Gold, Rodgers & Hart, Thelonius Monk and Giancarlo Menotti. According to The New York Post, “Marianne Challis is Betty White in cabaret – spunky, bright, satirical. She does wait for somebody in ‘Somebody Loves Me,’ and she has Mermanish rhythms in ‘Sweet and Low.’ This is truly a silver Challis.”
