Marilyn Monroe invented her public persona while she concealed a private side known only to her closest circle. 50 years after her death, her creation still blazes brightly in American culture, while the woman behind the mask continues to remain a mystery. Drawing from recently discovered personal papers, diaries and letters, BOMBSHELL explores the multiple aspects of the real Marilyn – ambition, passion, soul-searching, power and fear – in a
captivating and surprising portrait that gives us a new and revelatory understanding of the beloved icon, revealing her carefully guarded life.

This live-singing cabaret was conceived by and stars the incomparable Ms. Tipsy Rose Lee. Tipsy is currently the Artistic Director and choreographer of Mimosas Cabaret, the award
winning, fierce and fabulous drag brunch that has been running for over 6 years. She started her career in New York as a dancer in musical theatre, and has since performed in several national tours and locally at the 5th Ave Theatre and Village Theatre. Tipsy also recently played the role of the goddess Circe in Seattle Repertory Theatre’s production of The Odyssey and has now performed several cabaret shows regionally and in Puerto Vallarta.

BOMBSHELL features many of the songs from the hit television show SMASH, as well as some classic favorites that showcase what was really going on with America’s sexiest film star. It will explore Marilyn’s childhood in foster homes, and her career as a model which led
to a film contract with Twentieth Century-Fox. It will also closely follow her inner-turmoil through relationships with Joe DiMaggio, Arthur Miller and her controversial connection with JFK. Through song, dance, tears and laughter BOMSHELL will make you look at Marilyn’s life in a
way you have never imagined.
