Synopsis

Maude Maggart at last makes her Chicago debut in this “must-see new show” (The New York Times). Straight from the hallowed Oak Room of New York’s Algonquin Hotel, Good Girl/Bad Girl is a seductively enchanting musical narrative igniting the cabaret scene. The sultry chanteuse and protégé of legends Andrea Marcovicci and Michael Feinstein creates a “richly textured slate of potent songs that pursue the glory and pangs of the heart” (Variety). In that delicate terrain between naughty and nice, Maggart’s deeply sensual voice finds new perspectives on womanhood. With Lanny Meyers and Yair Evnine. This production is part of Traffic Jam, a 3-week festival of music, language and performance. View the full Traffic Jam line-up.

Reviews

"'Good Girl/Bad Girl"...is the rare cabaret show that matters not only musically but sociologically."
-The New York Times

"Ms. Maggart...uses an astutely chosen selection of songs to explore conflicting female sexual stereotypes from the perspective of a beautiful woman who understands but rejects the attraction of surrendering to a man for better or for worse."
-The New York Times

"Her blend of mystery and allure, of brat and sophisticate, evokes a film noir femme fatale of the junior variety: the wild, runaway teenager with a secret night life."
-The New York Times
