Becoming Marilyn

"Sunny Thompson, a wonderfully believable Monroe, carries this one woman show with ease ... capturing that curiously appealing mix of little-girl-lost and sex bomb. [...] Thompson's performance is flawless [...] The costume design is perfect, featuring many of her famed outfits."
NZ Herald

Just two weeks to go, until Marilyn: Forever Blonde opens at Downstage Theatre in Wellington on March 26. If you want to have an exclusive look behind the scenes beforehand, just click here to watch a short movie clip that shows how Sunny Thompson becomes Marilyn Monroe. As the show currently plays in Auckland, you can have a look at a short clip from the NZ Herald, in which Sunny talks about playing Marilyn in her show.
