Elizabeth Evans - Creator and Performer "The Mini Marilyn"

The Mini Marilyn is appealing to a variety of audiences including;
Fans of Classic Hollywood: An appreciation of the golden age of Hollywood will find TMM an exciting reinterpretation of an iconic figure. The show blends nostalgia with contemporary performance and modern interpretations of cultural icons.

LGBTQIA+: We embrace freedom of expression and the joy of reinvention, appealing to those who value self-expression and authenticity.

Women: Throughout Mini, Brandy and Shandy navigate the delights and perils of being female. It displays the beautiful friendship and abandons the cultural myth that female relationships can be based on competition or toxicity.

The Mini Marilyn team can provide the following in both digital and hard copy format;
- Press release,
- Digital assets (images and video),
- Digital promotional material (excerpts and testimonials),
- Physical promotional material (pull up banner and DL size brochure).
- Merchandise to be sold before, during and after shows at venues.

I want to see that audiences leave the show feeling inspired, entertained, and challenged by the themes explored, particularly around identity, fame, and self-expression. Through audience feedback (e.g. reviews, social media engagement, direct communication), I hope to gauge whether the show resonates with individuals and sparks meaningful conversations in the community about personal transformation and cultural identity.

I hope to spark further interest in the arts, leading to increased participation in future arts events, workshops, and creative collaborations. This can involve either direct involvement in the show or other opportunities for engagement, such as outreach programs, workshops, or partnerships.

I would also love to deepen relationships with arts venues, local producers, and cultural organizations that will support ongoing regional artistic development. These connections can pave the way for future tours, collaborations, and initiatives that bring diverse performances and experiences to regional areas.

For myself and the performers involved, the completion of performances should reflect significant artistic growth, both in terms of the show itself and in the relationships built along the way. I expect this experience to deepen our creative work, foster new ideas, and build a sense of camaraderie.
