Samantha Stevens, a British performer now often found playing American blondes across the U.S. (Lily St. Regis in the Annie national tour, Miss Adelaide, Betty Haynes—and sometimes Miss Monroe herself), makes her 54 Below debut in In Love with Marilyn.

In celebration of Marilyn Monroe’s 100th birthday, Stevens brings a captivating evening of music and storytelling that explores the life, legacy, and emotional complexity of one of Hollywood’s most iconic figures. 

With musical direction and arrangements by Garrett Taylor (White Christmas national tour, Next to Normal at The Kennedy Center), the evening blends songs associated with Monroe, like “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend” and “I Wanna Be Loved By You,” alongside contemporary selections and personal narrative. Offering a fresh and intimate perspective—revealing the vulnerability, humor, and humanity behind the image the world thought it knew. Inspired by Stevens’ deep admiration for Monroe, the show reflects a modern artist’s connection to a timeless icon, highlighting why Marilyn continues to resonate with audiences today.

In Love with Marilyn is a love letter, a mirror, and a martini all in one. This solo cabaret marks Stevens’ debut at 54 Below following performances at the Sedona International Film Festival.
