Rita McKenzie as Ethel Merman (Jerry Lewis Telethon)

Dynamic singer and actress Rita McKenzie performs a medley from her National Touring Show, Ethel Mermans Broadway on the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Muscular Dystrophy Telethon. In a truly remarkable performance, Ms. McKenzie breathes new life into all of Mermans timeless Broadway hits. For any fan of Merman, great Broadway musicals, or the classic tunes of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and Jerry Hermann, this show is a must see!

[@billbailey3614]

I love Ethel and anyone who sounds like her!

[@jennymabrey8964]

Excellent!

[@ayokay123]

Great voice, even has Merman's vibrato and similar timbre. Not quite Merman, but darned good.

[@traciemarsh1611]

wheres parts 1 and 2????

[@user-nm1le2fb6d]

No Merman

[@bmbutler2]

Uh, no. Ethel would not have needed a mic. She doesn’t have the freedom of expression that Ms Merman did

[@donfontana8282]

She's in personating her... She's not her.

[@bigred997]

boring.. sorry. she maybe sounds somewhat like her but she doesn't capture her essense , pathos or vulnerability. just an imitation. should expect more from an expensive production.

[@SuperJacob1989]

[@bmbutler2]
