Conceived and Directed by the MARILYN MAYE - also performing several of the best-known songs from her own legendary career!

John Philip makes his Iridium debut with his radiant new Pride Week cabaret show, "Say Yes", a vibrant celebration of identity, love, and life. Following the success of his 2024 production "Oceans of Love and Life," this fresh creation is once again conceived and directed by the legendary Marilyn Maye, featuring her original lyrics that pulse with wit, warmth, and wisdom. With David Pearl as Music Director, Dan Gross on percussion, and Tom Hubbard on bass, "Say Yes" blends heartfelt storytelling with sophisticated musicality for a show that’s as uplifting as it is intimate.
 
A seasoned New York performer, John Philip began his career in daytime television and starred in the Merchant Ivory classic "The Bostonians." Over the years, he’s carved out a unique voice in cabaret, known for his emotional honesty, elegance, and stage presence. Outside the spotlight, he balances his artistic life with a second calling—as a solo-practicing attorney. With "Say Yes," John steps into the Iridium spotlight for the first time, inviting audiences to share in a journey of music, pride, and personal truth that’s as deeply human as it is joyfully theatrical.
