Performing Arts: Theatre Varla Jean Merman Loves a Foreign Tongue

  • Marla_large

Few classically trained opera singers can master the art of pouring a can of Cheez Whiz into their mouths mid-medley, but Varla Jean Merman (the supposed love child of Ernest Borgnine and Ethel Merman) possesses just that rare talent. The idiosyncratic alter ego of writer/performer Jeffery Roberson, Varla Jean embraces old-school drag with modern pop-culture references and one mind-blowing instrument — a stunning, multi-octave voice. Her latest show, Varla Jean Merman Loves a Foreign Tongue, combines vaudeville, Velveeta, and classic Varla.
