She has one of the most recognized faces in the world. Over forty years after her death, Marilyn Monroe‘s life and death is still in question. Her trademark platinum hair and beauty mark, her famous skirt-blowing scene, which eventually she became ashamed of because no one could see the woman who was intellectual had feelings and worked hard behind the glitter, the gold and the smiles. Everyone knew this Marilyn Monroe, but did anybody know Norma Jeane Baker? Marilyn Monroe was a Hollywood icon, maybe even a legend, but who was this luminous woman, and was the happy woman that everyone knew capable of killing herself?

Prior to seeing Bombshells, I knew it was going to be a unique performance being a one-woman show. I was looking forward to seeing another production in the Quadracci Powerhouse Theater of the Milwaukee Rep, after having enjoyed seeing Cabaret there. I knew very little about Bombshells other than it being a one-woman show, which is why I made sure to get there in time to see the Rep in Depth.
