Modern Marilyn
Overview
Monica Danae Ricketts has played Marilyn Monroe professionally since 2014 and has portrayed the Hollywood Starlet at Universal Studios Hollywood, Universal Studios Japan and all around the country in musicals, films and special events. Honoring Marilyn's image is of utmost importance to her, so she has spent years researching her history and has extensive knowledge about her life.

June 12, 2026Fantastic: Talent and Preparation
Modern Marilyn was really, really great at my friends birthday party.
Her acting and singing are Broadway caliber.
Her pre-gig communication is clear, professional and friendly.
Her wardrobe and make up is the best.
She even brings her own sound!
My friend and his guests are still raving about his party days later.
Thank you Modern Marilyn!

Sadly, I was unable to be there for the event, but the family members that were there have told me that Modern Marilyn did a wonderful job. The actual words from the birthday boy were "She was Great!!"
