Maryann "Boom Boom" Maisano
is the headliner of
THE ITALIAN CHICKS COMEDY & VARIETY SHOW
Maryann Maisano nata e cresciuta a Fort Lee in New Jersey, non si e’ affatto dimenticata delle sue origini Calabresi (per via paterna). Anzi propio queste ultime hanno portato l’artista sulla vetta piu’ alta e ambita del successo artistico.
Comica, attrice, compositrice e cantante con uno stile tutto personale e prettamente Italiano, assieme al suo gruppo titolato Italian Chicks , tradotto “Le pollastre Italiane” fa il tutto esaurito nei prestigiosi teatri di New York City.
I due requisiti necessari fortemente voluti da Maryann, nella costruzione iniziale del gruppo sono “essere donna e soprattutto Italiana”.
Mary Didimo, Carolan Valentino e Gina Scarda “le rimanenti tre Italian Chicks” rispecchiano perfettamente questi requisiti .Incredibile e’ la capacita’ di Maryann nell’intrattenere l’esigente publico Americano, che rimane con il fiato sospeso per l’intera durata dello spettacolo.
Pilastri su cui poggia tutta la struttura delle sue performance teatrali, sono i divertentissimi luoghi comuni dello stereotipo Italiano, che ci rendono cosi’ speciali e unici al Mondo. Vari, esilaranti e senza un attimo di tregua gli show di Maryann spaziano dalle legendarie canzoni ,che hanno fatto la storia della musica Italiana e internazionale, rivisitate in chiave comica, ai tanto curiosi quanto divertenti aneddoti vissuti per tutta la sua adolescenza nella tipica, calorosa famiglia italo- Americana.
La carriera di Maryann non e’ quella solita dell’artista, infatti solo da qualche anno, ha lasciato il suo prestigioso ruolo di vice presidente nel maggiore istituto finanziario dello Stato di New York, per seguire la sua passione.La sua scelta anche se ardua ha portato subito I primi frutti .Dopo pochi mesi dal suo esordio infatti Maryann vince il Festival del Cantautore di New York. The Brodway Comedy Club, The laugh Factory e Dangerfield’s sono solo alcuni dei prestigiosi teatri dove le Italian Chicks hanno dato spettacolo.
Proprio nella Laugh Factory ambito palco in Times Square, immerso nel cuore di Manhattan nel Gennaio del 2008 si e’ tenuto il frizzante debutto del gruppo. Solo poco tempo dopo Maryann si ritroverà ad aprire spettacoli di nomi come, Ray Romano e Joy Behar. Tra pochi mesi, precisamente Settembre ci sara’ la tanto attesa uscita del suo nuovo disco “City of Life”, con la staordinaria partecipazione di Denny Aiello, icona indelebile tra le star di Holliwood.
Progetto futuri delle Italian Chicks e anche sogno nel cassetto di Maryann e’ quello di organizzare un tour che parte da Roma attraversando tutto il Sud Italia con destinazione finale, Reggio Calabria, citta’ a cui la” nostra chiks” e’ molto legata perche’ terra natale di suo padre.
Buona fortuna Maryann e alle "Italian Chicks”!
