In "Red Headed Broadway," Ms. Young presents career highlights, anecdotes, and Broadway hits of fellow red-headed headliners including Gwen Verdon, Bernadette Peters, Carol Burnett, and Faith Prince.

Melissa Young has been a Chicago favorite for over 11 years.

She has acted in and directed many productions during her Chicago stay and even took the original play Me, The Devil and Other Friends by Fannon Holland to the New York International Fringe Festival in the summer of 2003.

Her first one-woman show The Life and Times of a She Devil premiered at Davenports Cabaret Bar in 2004. Known for her power belt and comedic timing, Young has had the honor of being the special guest of the great Stephen Kimbrough at the Gentry on Halstead in Chicago on multiple occasions. Red Headed Broadway is surely a good time not to be missed!
