MARILYN: SOME LIKE IT HOT
One hundred years after her birth, Marilyn Monroe remains one of the most recognisable figures in popular culture. Through the songs she performed on screen and in the recording studio, the singers of the Atelier Lyrique and their Academy colleagues celebrate the artistry, humour and vulnerability behind the legend.

From Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend and I Wanna Be Loved by You to lesser-known songs from her films and recordings, this evening traces Marilyn’s world through music. Hollywood glamour, nightclub wit and moments of surprising tenderness come together in a cabaret that looks beyond the blonde bombshell image to reveal a performer whose voice and personality continue to captivate a century later.
