"...Brilliantly bitchy and fun as infamous mess Marilyn..." -Paul Wontorek, Editor-in-Chief, Broadway.com "Jeffrey Carlson as Marilyn, a narcissistic, talent-free transvestite, is a hoot. Imagine a leggy, aggressive Marilyn Monroe -- looking like she just stepped out of "Some Like It Hot" -- and you'll get some idea of what Carlson expertly accomplishes." -Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press "an explosive performance by Jeffrey Carlson" -Judy Wieder, The Advocate

"Then there was Jeffrey Carlson, the square-jawed blonde from Long Beach, Calif., who plays Marilyn, Boy George's drag-queen best friend-slash-wanna-be pop star.
Carlson does a wonderful job portraying him, even though his parents — who came from Long Beach — had to be prepared for their son in a dress.
What did they think when young Jeffrey called home with the news he was playing a transvestite?
"I said, 'Here we go again,'" said his real estate developer dad, with a laugh. His mom shook her head in disbelief. They'll be even happier next June at the Tony Awards, believe me.
