HEY MARILYN
A Musical Biography of Marilyn Monroe
Book, Music and Lyrics by Cliff Jones

"It's sensational!...

….The Jones genius is fully evident from the beginning…Hearing the theme (title) song half way through it strikes a chord, but it is only after the finale that the song bursts through the clouds of emotion to become a haunting and painful elegy to a tormented woman…the tragedy of Marilyn Monroe has never been more poignant."   Halifax Mail-Star

Beverly D'Angelo in the CBC production

 HEY MARILYN  was originally commissioned, produced and broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Radio Network. It was so extremely well received across the country by both critics and audience alike, that public demand insisted on an unprecedented (for the CBC) re-broadcast a mere two months after the original broadcast. It was nominated for three ACTRA awards.

BEVERLY D'ANGELO plays the role of Marilyn in the CBC Production. She is one of a cast and chorus of thirty. An orchestra of thirty-three plays the lush score.

Writer/composer Cliff Jones adapted HEY MARILYN into a powerful musical for the STAGE.
