First performing in blackface, she soon began singing the songs that made her famous, including "Some of These Days" and "My Yiddishe Momma," throughout the world.

And now she's back in New York City for one performance and this great cause. Miss McKenzie is currently co-starring Off Broadway in the musical Ruthless!. She has performed in the national tour of Neil Simon's female version of The Odd Couple, co-starring with Barbara Eden. She was honored for her outstanding portrayal of Olive Madison with a National Broadway Theatre nomination as Best Actress in a Touring Play. She also recently toured with Renee Taylor and Joe Bologna in their production of Bermuda Avenue Triangle. Ms. McKenzie toured the country in Merman's signature role as Annie Oakley in the 50th anniversary production of Annie Get Your Gun opposite Glenn Yarbrough. An accomplished TV and film actress, Ms. McKenzie played Alice, the housekeeper, on Fox's "The Brady Bunch: The Final Days," has guest-starred on NBC's "Caroline in the City," Mrs. Littlejohn on NBC's "Frasier," Rita Marcus on the Family Channel's "Big Brother Jake," and her recurring role on "Daddy Dearest," starring Richard Lewis and Don Rickles. ETHEL MERMAN'S BROADWAY is a love letter to the life and times of Ethel Merman, the Queen of Broadway's Golden Age. Ms. McKenzie brings to life 16 of the greatest hits of Broadway in this thrilling show which recalls the glorious days of the Great White Way and it's brightest Star.

NYC: LAUREN FOX: THE SONGS OF JONI MITCHELL & LEONARD COHEN

FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW (254 West 54th Street, NYC - 646-476-3551) on Tuesday & Wednesday, October 27th & 28th at 9:30 pm. Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen are widely known to be two of the best and most prolific songwriters of their generation. Less known about the fellow Canadian artists is that they had a relationship early in their careers that lasted only a few months, but had a lasting effect on their work. Many have speculated as to why the relationship didn't last, and that's what Lauren Fox explores here - BOTH SIDES - through their music, their histories, their triumphs and heartbreaks. Fox delves into the meaning behind the songs, giving us a better understanding of a painter and a poet who mesmerized the world through song. Highlights of the show include Mitchell's "Chelsea Morning," "River," and "Both Sides Now," and Cohen's "Suzanne," "Bird On A Wire," and "Hallelujah." With Jon Weber as Musical Director, Peter Calo on Guitar and Ritt Henn on Bass. There is a $25-$60 cover plus a $25 food/drink minimum.
