The Book Of Merman - Raunchy Revelations
Julia's on Broadway proudly presents: "The Book Of Merman - Raunchy Revelations" April 12th @ 7:30pm.
If you're not familiar with Varla Jean Merman, nom du drag of the actor Jeffery Roberson, introductions are in order: The self-described love child of Ethel Merman and Ernest Borgnine, she's approximately 6 feet tall (depending which cunning heels and elaborate Ann-Margret-red hairpieces she's sporting at any given moment) and has an operatic voice ascending to a high F-sharp. (That's "Queen of the Night'' territory, and also a favored range for the occasional adorable hiccupy giggle.) She has the impeccable manners of a Southern debutante, combined with a taste for raunch that would leave the most jaded of libertines sputtering. If you like the kind of off-color comedy that makes you laugh till you choke, Varla Jean is your kind of girl.
Varla Jean Merman's alter ego Jeffery Roberson shared the Outfest Film Festival "Best Actor" Award and the Aspen HBO Film Festival "Best Actress" Award with his costars Jack Plotnick and Clinton Leupp for his featured performance in Girls Will Be Girls (Sundance 2003) directed by Richard Day. He also played the role of Mary Sunshine in the revival of Chicago on Broadway.
