This week, Ira spoke with singer, writer and producer Maren Wade, starring in “Confessions of a Showgirl” in Myron’s at The Smith Center November 6. In this episode of “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Maren talks about using the term “Showgirl” in the “modern” sense (for example, she doesn’t meet the height requirements!); how she started her “Confessions” column in the Las Vegas Weekly; why it took her longer than she thought to write the show; why she has had some fun experiences she wanted to share, as well as emotional ones; collaborating with Keith Thompson, award-winning musical director, arranger, composer and producer; why her show is autobiographical; her personal confessions; taking it on the road; her inspiration for the show, which is that you can create a role for yourself; connecting to your “inner showgirl”; what brought her to Las Vegas; why Vegas is a town like no other; and why it’s a “very tailored show” for the city.
