Ute Lemper has performed on Broadway and on stages across the world. Her extensive career includes playing Velma Kelly in "Chicago." Now, she's in New York for a brand new show.
"Rendezvous With Marlene" is based on a conversation Lemper had with Marlene Dietrich in 1988. The 3-hour long conversation helped create this show.
Lemper is returning to Cafe Carlyle for the performance. The show starts tomorrow, February 27th, and runs through March 3rd.
The CEO of the King Center in Atlanta says she hopes to spur progress during this year's observances of Martin Luther King Jr. Day by helping more Americans personalize the struggle for racial equity and harmony.
