Legendary Marilyn Maye on The Holly Jolly Follyday at The Folly on 12.21.25

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with the legendary Marilyn Maye on The Holly Jolly Follyday at The Folly on December 21, 2025 at 3:30 p.m. We caught up with this pride and joy of Kansas City as she returns home fresh off a stellar run at New York City’s iconic 54 Below, where she performed a residency honoring Johnny Carson’s 100th birthday. Marilyn Maye famously sang on The Tonight Show an astonishing 76 times, with Johnny Carson himself calling her the “Super-Singer.” In this interview, we dive into her unmatched legacy, the magic of her holiday show, and the rich history she shares with the Folly Theater. A must-see event and a wide-ranging conversation. Enjoy.
