Max & Louie Productions is ushering in its 10th season with the St. Louis premiere of “Love, Linda,” the one-woman musical about the life of Mrs. Cole Porter. In the starring role as Linda Lee Thomas is St. Louis actress and vocalist Debby Lennon.
“I find Linda to be an incredibly strong Southern belle who knew who she was before she met Cole Porter,” Lennon told Gazelle. “She was stunning, the style icon of the 1930s. From the moment their eyes met at a party in Paris, they were a perfect fit. She was his muse, and loved him unconditionally, and accepted his homosexual leanings.”
Lennon, who is also a member of the St. Louis Symphony Chorus and an adjunct professor of voice and director of the Webster Jazz Singers at Webster University, is reuniting with Broadway veteran Ken Page for “Love, Linda.”
“I loved working with Ken on Union Avenue Opera’s production of “Carousel,” which I came into the production at the last minute to play Mrs. Mullin. I am so thrilled to be working with him one-on-one in this piece!”
Page is directing “Love, Linda,” which runs Jan. 17 through Jan. 27 at the Marcelle Theater in Grand Center.
