KAHN ARTIST: MADELINE AND ME
“Talk about taking chances, braving risks, and not being afraid to look foolish! . . .
Yet I found the show to be quite moving and, definitely, intelligent. I highly recommend seeing it. . . highly watchable, listenable, thoughtful, and entertaining.”
It’s a side-splitting, song-filled adventure with Eden Casteel as she dives headfirst into her lifelong obsession with the one and only Madeline Kahn—Mel Brooks’ comedic genius from Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and High Anxiety. The moment teenage Eden saw Madeline Kahn in a Michelob beer commercial, she had one thought: I want to be her when I grow up. From that point on, Eden dreamed of becoming as beautiful, witty, and ridiculously talented as Kahn—and maybe scoring a Michelob commercial or two. Directed by Tony Award winner Faith Prince and co-written with Rod Ferguson, this show mixes laugh-out-loud stories, Kahn-inspired tunes, and moments of pure ridiculousness. Filled with iconic songs, compelling stories, and hilarious anectdotes, KAHN ARTIST: MADELINE AND ME is an intimate look at the trials and triumphs of both Kahn and Casteel. With musical arrangements by Jim Rice and Bobby Peaco.
