“Many have tried, but no one I have ever seen has been able to capture the essence of Marilyn quite like Sheri Winkelmann.”
— Mike Adamle: NBC

Dear Sherri,

Thank you so much for joining us for the second year in a row on the Time Life Malt Shop Memories Cruise a partnership between Time Life and Entertainment Cruise Productions. It was a pleasure to have you.

Your two tribute shows, Marilyn Monroe and Connie Francis are so well received on board, and they enhance the guest experience and have become an integral part of our cruises. I have heard such great comments from many of our passengers about how much they love your shows and love you. Live entertainment is king on our cruises and you are a valuable part of our entertainment family.

It is a testament to you that with all the big name talent we have performing live on board such as Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell, Dion, Darlene Love, Ronnie Specton, Leslie Gore and many more, your performances are so thoroughly enjoyed.

Once again, thanks and I look forward to seeing you next year.

If it’s Marilyn Monroe that you want, Marilyn Monroe is who you get with Sheri! She looks like, acts like, sounds like, and sings exactly like Marilyn. Sheri is professional and personable. She will work with you on what you’re looking for. She also was great at entertaining the crowd and making us laugh. It was a highlight of the night, and one I will never forget!
— Bernadette: Western Springs

Marilyn was fantastic! She was in constant communication with me to ensure the event went well without a hitch. She was “Marilyn” the moment she stepped in the door and from one actor to another, I especially appreciated that! I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a wonderful and entertaining show! Great job “Marilyn”!

Sheri did a FANTASTIC performance for our event. She was very charming & beautiful; talented & very funny; awesome singer & dancer!! She knew how to work the crowd. She got everyone laughing-out-loud. Everyone from young to old was VERY pleased with her great sense of humor and performance. Hats off to you Sheri!! She was definitely the shining star of the night. Thank you for leaving a lasting memory for my husband 50th birthday that he will always cherish! I would HIGHLY recommend Sheri’s “Happy Birthday Mr. President Show” to all.

Hi Sheri,
Thanks so much for your professional appearance at our event. You were wonderful and a big, big, hit. I appreciated very much some of the things you did along the way to help the event, and recognized them. Thank You very much! I hope you had as much fun as we did!

Marilyn was a phenomenal touch to our event. Her professionalism and talent is impeccable. We will definitely hire her for any events in the future where a “Tribute to Marilyn Monroe Show” is needed. Thank you.

I wanted my husband’s 50th surprise birthday party to be a memorable event. We took him to the “Happy Birthday Mr. President Show” and ‘Marilyn’ was spectacular! She is not only beautiful but extremely talented and funny. I know I was not the only one there whose facial muscles were cramping from laughter. She really knew how to work her audience and make the embarrassed birthday boy feel special, too. Thanks for the great show Marilyn!!!

Sheri came to perform at our Watseka Theatre, the Iroquois Performing Arts Center. We expected someone to remind us all of Marilyn Monroe. We were wrong thinking along those lines. What Sheri did was transport us back in time to one of the golden ages of Hollywood where icons were much larger than life. She became Marilyn Monroe in every sense, every way. There was not a single person in the audience who didn’t believe that some how, some way, the real Marilyn Monroe was standing, talking, singing and acting right there on stage in front of us. It was magical as she became her! No doubt about it, Sheri’s gift is being Marilyn Monroe!
— Chuck Gomez: Owner, Watseka Theatre

Marilyn Monroe was a complete hit at our fund raiser. From her complete transformation to her professionalism and most entertaining performance, everyone in the crowd was more than pleased! She was beautiful as she roamed from table to table conversating and flirting. Her voice and acting abilities shined on our evening. We would recommend her to anyone looking for Marilyn Monroe!
— Dawn Serrato: Joliet, IL

Marilyn’s performance was fantastic! She had a wonderful singing voice! She stayed in contact with me frequently prior to her performance at my husband’s 40th surprise birthday party and incorporated some of my husband’s idiosyncrasies into her show. She was brilliant at portraying “Marilyn” in her show!
— Jennie Birch: Arlington Heights, IL

Fantastic, enthusiastic, professional and very, very charming. The seniors were so enthsiastic, that they could not even believe how well she played the role. Excellent performer.
— Rafael G: Chicago, IL

— Erin Emerson, IL

Sherri,
Thank you so much for your stunning performance as Marilyn, last Saturday at the Rosewood for Steve’s 50th Birthday. All in the room loved your take and tease of Steve, as Marilyn. I received so many wonderful comments from our guests by the element of surprise, and watching Steve, blush. We will recommend your show to all of our friends!
— Barb Rubas, IL

We called Sheri only a few days before our birthday surprise. So kind, professional, thorough, and accommodating. Her performance was PERFECT and memorable not only for the birthday boy but for his entire family! Couldn’t have been happier!!

From the moment she walked up, SHE WAS SO BELIEVEABLY MARILYN! Her voice, her wit, her comedic timing, her sex appeal...she was great! On top of that, she has a great singing voice! She worked with our special requests...I don’t think there is anything else she could have done to make our evening more perfect! Thanks Marilyn!
— Lisa M: Skokie, IL
